Bitching about that is like cricitizing a festival administration because it uses printer ink that’s not manufactured $HERE. Stock photos are a staple of ad agencies.

But these stock photos are a few extra dollars in the campaign by CTV et al that are being used in a national marketing campaign and aren't being sent to local newsrooms, and it reinforces the fact that there's very little local about this campaign.

Why hire and maintain a team of artists to produce and adapt random images they need? Get it from the web, it's easier, cheaper, more democratic.
