How is that a misleading title? The video may be benign, but it also hasn't gone over well. Those aren't even slightly contradictory; something that is benign may also be tone deaf, and the TV ad was certainly tone deaf to the current political situation.
If Huawei wants to appeal to the Canadian people, instead of running vacuous "feel good" tv ads they should publicly appeal the Chinese government to release the Canadian citizens they're holding hostage and in one case threatening to murder. They won't do that though.
(Also to be frank, any excuse to bring more public attention to these human rights violations is a good enough excuse.)
