ignatieff came out of nowhere though. there seems to have been an image management firm quietly running ops for most of the year to introduce carney and make him appealing. like if carney were to come up as the subject in an article posted to reddit there will be strange out of place comments talking about what a great guy he is. or carney's x account posting nice inoffensive admirable tweets... in both english and french. it's kind of obvious. conservatives had the opportunity to set ignatieff's public perception and they absolutely carpet-bombed the guy. carney's already started work on his first impression, and the conservatives have to be careful because he was once their own deputy finance minister too.   > in reality trudeau is no one, chrystia freeland has been running the show on behalf of the wef this whole time, trudeau is just the figurehead. pretty sure it's been trudeau's chief of staff and related inner circle of staffers.   > ccp blackmail there was a lot of ccp money flying about canadian politics around 2015. i saw something about massive increases of foreign donations to various canadian charities around that time too. the poster was looking for links to the liberal party and found charity board members that were immediate family of prominent liberals but maybe that's just the usual soft corruption? you could, however, get a lot of impact out of directing millions of foreign dollars that the cra barely checks over. actual election advertising wouldn't be possible but preparing the ground for helpful narratives would be.
