I can understand the optics of it seeming like a conflict of interest at first glance, but as we dig deeper it's pretty apparent the rules were followed and perhaps the PR could have been handled better, but ultimately nothing wrong was done. For the record I would be saying the same if it was a Conservative/NDP member. No need to play team politics on this.
As for the bolded, it's pretty telling that this story is pretty big on russian telegram socials right now. Gee, I wonder what their intent is? Always always always have to keep in mind that any kind of news about Ukraine immediately get's put in the russian bot machine and is "helped" along the way to various news/social media outlets. This is no different and it's pretty apparent that a few russian channels ran with this story well before the Canadian news outlets got wind of it.
