I've been wondering about who might fit the criteria here of a truly shocking revelation.
First off, I can't believe that, given our political climate and the fact that the supposed three-year timeline contained a hotly contested federal election, that the LPC and CPC would agree with one another not to talk about it. It just wouldn't happen. The person is likely tangentially related to politics, and more specifically linked to Trudeau.
So, when I think of people who fit the criteria of:
- Venerated by Canadians
- Publicly close to politics, and to Trudeau in particular
- Works in an industry or position where situations like these are known to occur
- Has a sterling enough reputation that allegations to this effect would seem shocking
- Powerful enough to keep the allegations hidden
There are very few people who would fit all of these. However, if you then expand it by one more:
- No longer around to defend himself, therefore making it safer to go public with the allegations
That leaves me with one name. I really, really hope he isn't it.
