I think one thing that didn’t happen with the leadership campaign is that Freeland didn’t accuse Carney of being Trudeau 2.0. I think if that were true you would have heard that line of attack from Freeland in her quest to be PM. That Freeland essentially took down Trudeau and didn’t attack Carney for being associated with Trudeau suggests that they may be on the same side of the dense in the liberal split. Also Carney gave Freeland a significant cabinet position given the current crisis.
Now if you think of Freeland as old guard liberal as opposed to a person fighting against Trudeau’s influence in the party then you would likely disagree with above assessment
So certainly concerned but hopeful.
What are your thoughts on my assessment of the current conservative base and the risks they pose? Is that too conspiratorial?

Unsubstantiated rumors and some OpEds I've read were suggesting that the candidates had an agreement to go easy on each other and keep things clean because they knew they were stepping into a full blown election campaign right away. They didn't want to attack each other and provide ammo or fuel to the CPC.
I'll get back to the conservative thing later on tonight when I have more time to write something out.
