I would like like to see PP’s bullshit called out on a regular basis. He railed against the proposed capital gains tax, but it doesn’t appear that anyone pointed out the huge conflict of interest he has – his personal wealth has (apparently) been built on real estate investing / exploitation.
Politically we have to assume they are the same due to their positions
Popularity wise, she is a woman which unfortunately is already a bad thing in Canadian politics. And media has been framing her as bitchy. She gets blamed for a lot if things that I feel of she were a man people would just shrug at
Past that though, she lacks charisma and the Trudeau brand
Ah those are valid reasons. Dang I didn’t know it was conservative talking point. I was just worried that Justin Trudaeu’s branding might be his archiles heel.
Freeland completed a bachelor’s degree at Harvard University, studying Russian history and literature before earning a master’s degree in Slavonic studies from the University of Oxford. She worked as a journalist in Ukraine and eventually held editorial positions at the Financial Times, The Globe and Mail and Reuters, becoming managing director of the latter. She also authored Sale of the Century: Russia’s Wild Ride from Communism to Capitalism (2000) and Plutocrats: The Rise of the New Global Super Rich and the Fall of Everyone Else (2012).
Thanks for that. I get that she’s academically accomplished but I’m more interested in her political accomplishments. Like others have mentioned she is not a great public speaker and I haven’t been particularly impressed by her budgets…
