Was a photo of Mark Carney with Jeffrey Epstein’s girlfriend leaked by Chrystia Freeland’s team? Who sent the Rolls Royce to Carney’s campaign launch event? Is Karina Gould’s candidacy merely an attempt to undermine Freeland? Brian Lilley talks with Liberal strategists Sharan Kaur, who worked inside the Trudeau government, and Kieran McMurchy, a consultant at Navigator, to break down the hits and misses in the first days of Freeland and Carney’s campaigns — and how their duel could get much dirtier. They also consider the other candidates in the race to replace Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader and prime minister. Plus, they ask the biggest question of all: whether anyone can salvage the wreck Trudeau made of the Liberal party. (Recorded Jan. 17, 2025.)
