Sure she will ...

Former finance minister Chrystia Freeland would 'replace' the federal carbon price if she becomes the next Liberal party leader, Global News has confirmed.

Not only is it a good move, but would take the wind out of the CPCs sails. The consumer carbon tax has been 80% of their messaging, taking that away will leave a void on their argument.

Good move, for sure, but hard to shake the stink of 9 years with the political skunk. We'll see how it plays ...

Yep. She’s very much has a chain around her neck pulling that. Will be very hard for her to shake it off.

Promising to reverse something you've championed and increased over the last decade is a long stretch. Anyone associated to the current government needs to be summarily dismissed and forgotten about as potential future leaders.

Name me one government politican in any era who hasn't towed the party line when in power. Especially cabinet ministers. We know she resigned over long standing disagreements about policy, this could easily be one of them

Right now he seems to be very quiet about all of it. “I’m not the PM” is only going to go so far.

For the ‘whenever’ election?

Now is a good time to be asking all politicians what parts of their agendas they would be willing to give up to reduce economic drag.

Now would be a good time to know which of them are treasonous, Chinese and Indian puppets.

Likely not any/key CPC MPs, otherwise we would have likely heard from “a source that wasn’t authorized to speak publicly…”

I don't care why party they run for. I want to know them all.

The Government has that information.

Sadly some of them are going to get Canadians vote for them again.

Luckily the foreign interference report will drop Jan 30th. Unfortunately the cases that have been referred to the RCMP we will not likely hear anything about because it could compromise the investigation.

I don't think it will have as much of an impact as some might hope. The LPC have been running the show for nearly a decade, and people are getting tired of them.

It's pretty easy for the CPC to counter Freeland with the fact she oversaw the finances while the cost of living became uncomfortable/untenable for many Canadians.

 

[Good2Golf]

Like others promised electoral reform, transparency, etc…

Referred to the RCMP from who?

Referred to the RCMP from who?

Mike. From Canmore.

I have a feeling that our government, even now, has no idea as to the state of influence by China (and other countries) in Canadian affairs. There are probably far more traitors, spies and saboteurs operating here now than the government knows. The Chinese are that good at what they do.

 

[MilEME09]

Referred to the RCMP from who?

Probably CSIS, Recall the press conference by the rcmp the whole india situation. They did that despite ongoing investigations.

Ok, well at least CSIS is known to be much more forthcoming with specific information than the RCMP. We should stand to learn a lot from the public version of the report.

 

[Good2Golf]

Let’s hope so.
