Watching Freeland talk, it’s easy to see why Trudeau finds her impressive. She has all the latest buzzwords and jargon. In a 60-second interview last week, she used the phrase “tipping point” four times. She loves talking about “millennials.”Rumour has it, there is already fierce jockeying among Trudeau disciples for the coveted post of "Minister of Marijuana."
She’s not a policy adviser. She’s a pundit. She doesn’t know a lot about economics, or about Canada.
But to Trudeau, she’s got something more important: The unwavering loyalty of her former Media Party colleagues.
