CPC press release questions why Justin Trudeau left Point Grey Academy and details different reasons given for why Trudeau left over the years. Release ends with "Trudeau will have the opportunity tonight to tell Canadians the truth." Is Scheer going to ask? #cdnpoli #Elxn43

This is a high risk strategy by the Conservatives. The Headmaster of the school at the time released a statement Friday saying Trudeau left of his own volition to possibly pursue his studies. #cdnpoli #elxn43

As I’ve previously reported, but since social media tends to be out of context: we have no evidence of any allegations. None. only internet rumours. CPC putting out an entire release to capitalize on that... I haven’t seen anything quite like that in #cdnpoli before #Elxn43

So after their press release demanding answers about Trudeau's reasons for departing Point Grey, noting he would have a chance to answer tonight, Conservative leader Andrew Scheer never asks him. So why the press release? #cdnpoli #elxn43

For partisans on all sides... showing a campaign's press release is in no way an endorsement of content. It goes a discussion about strategy and in this election just how vitriolic and leader centric it has been. It shows the influence of social media. (1/2) #cdnpoli #elxn43

It also goes to words vs action. The CPC put the release out, pushed the narrative but then ask zero questions about it in the debate. Take from that what you will, but tracking what campaigns say and what they actually do are part of this whole thing #cdnpoli #elxn43

Responses to this are the status quo of this election. How dare you report & show a campaign tactic in what has been a vitriolic campaign YOU ARE A CONSERVATIVE or how dare you be a part of the cover up for the thing we don't have evidence of YOU ARE A LIBERAL. #cdnpoli #elxn43
