Chapter 1303 Campaign Team
The latest website: In the office of the current Canadian Prime Minister Pierre.
Pierre stopped writing and asked Secretary Colin Robinson, "Colin, what's going on in the party right now?"
Colin Robinson replied respectfully: "Leader, after the news of your early resignation came out, many people in the party are eager to move, and many people are already active, ready to run for the party leader after you retire."
Pierre was not surprised, he knew that this was a matter of common sense.
In fact, he also encourages competition within the party to see if good people can be selected, so he can decide who to support. After all, he is the leader of the Liberal Party, and he must take responsibility and choose good heirs.
However, because of the busy government affairs, he could not devote himself to the affairs of the party, so he asked Colin Robinson, the secretary of the Liberal Party, to help him keep an eye on the situation in the party.
"Which ones stand out now?"
Pierre asked with interest.
It has only been six days since he announced the news abruptly, and the time is extremely short. Those who can emerge in such a short period of time will not be poor in ability or connections.
Colin Robinson thought for a while and answered truthfully: "Leader, there are currently two prominent executives, namely John Pinel Turner and Vice Chairman Iona Campanello."
"Oh?"
"It turned out to be the two of them."
Pierre was a little surprised, and the appearance of the first person surprised him.
John Pinel Turner was a veteran and a veteran politician, a lawyer who served as Lester Pearson's attorney general and his treasury secretary.
It's just that in September 1975, he decided to implement wage and price controls. The two had different political views, and John Pinel Turner felt that he could not succeed him as the leader of the Liberal Party in a short time, so the latter resigned as finance minister.
And it seems to have been shattered by confidence that John Pinel Turner resigned from Congress in February 1976 after resigning as Treasury Secretary and publicly announced his retirement from politics to join a law firm as a corporate lawyer.
After the Liberal Party's 1979 federal election defeat,
Pierre resigned as party leader, and John Pinel Turner publicly stated that he had no intention of running for the party leadership position.
Fortunately, the Progressive Conservative minority government fell in less than a year, and Pierre once again raised his flag as the leader of the Liberal Party and regained power.
Pierre did not expect that when he was about to ignore John Pinel Turner after eight years, the latter would come out again and react so quickly.
It seems that although John Pinel Turner has quit politics, he has never given up.
If it was before, Pierre would have been wary of John Pinel Turner, but now he knows that his journey has come to an end, and he really wants to step back, so John Pi The emergence of Neil Turner made him look forward to it.
John Pinel Turner was fifty-five years old, ten years his junior, and had plenty of energy.
And another Iona Campagnoro is not simple, is currently the deputy chairman of the Liberal Party, is the highest female position in the party.
On top of that, Iona Campanello had partnered with him before, as his previous labor secretary.
"Both of them are focusing on it, but don't ignore others. If there is any emerging, let me know as soon as possible. It has only been six days, and as time goes by, there must be a rising star."
Pierre smiled and told Colin Robinson.
"Yes!"
Colin Robinson responded respectfully.
...

His parents had nineteen children, and he was the eighteenth, but their nineteen siblings were only Nine survived, and he suffered from Bell's palsy in his youth, which left him chronically paralyzed on the left side of his face.

Liberal Party of Canada, current Minister of Energy.
After seventeen years of work, he has an almost perfect resume, having worked in almost all important departments in different cabinets.
If there is only one regret, it is that he has not been Prime Minister of Canada.
But this time, he saw an opportunity!
It's just that Prime Minister Pierre was too good at hiding before, which made him unprepared, so he was caught off guard when he suddenly announced that he would resign early.
Seeing that two people have emerged in the party, but he has not even formulated a complete campaign plan, the gap is gradually widening, and he is more anxious.
But this night, he was uncharacteristically, not writing a plan, but let the children go upstairs after dinner, and he was alone in the living room waiting for someone.
At about 8 o'clock in the evening, he heard the sound of a car engine coming from far and near outside the house.
Listen to the sound of at least two cars.
He stood up suddenly, sorted out his clothes, and strode towards the door.
Not long after he opened the door, he saw five people coming down from two cars not far away.
When five people came over, under the light, he finally saw the appearance of the five people. They were all middle-aged males. One of them was familiar to him, and two of the other four were familiar, but he couldn't remember the exact one. name.
"Barlow, and gentlemen, you are welcome, please come in."
After Joseph Chretien shook hands with everyone, he smiled and invited everyone in.
After everyone took their seats, Joseph Chretien introduced his wife to everyone: "I'd like to introduce to you, this is my wife, Erin Charney."
"You can call me Erin, you are welcome."
Erin Charney said enthusiastically.
"Hello, Erin!"
"..."
"Joseph, we are old friends, let me introduce my companion to you."
Barlow Pierce said, and introduced his companions one by one.
"This is Giles Victor, a professor at the School of Journalism and Communication at the University of Toronto, Canada."
"Nice to meet you, Professor Victor."
"Hello, Monsieur Chretien."
After the eldest of the five, Garth Victor shook hands with Joseph Chretien again.
Barlow Pierce went on to introduce.
"This is Weber Bacchus, an outstanding financial elite who has worked in banks, securities, funds and insurance companies."
...
"This is Ron Robert, the former head of the Research Department of the Canadian Studies Society."
...
"This is Marvin Zackley, former CBC News Manager."
...
After shaking hands with the four, the smile on Joseph Chretien's face became brighter, but he was very solemn in his heart.
He did not expect that these four people brought by Barlow Pierce turned out to be such identities.
Barlow Pierce is the senior vice president of Korn Ferry Canada, with strong communication and general affairs skills.
Giles Victor is a professor at the School of Communication.
Weber Bacchus is a financial elite.
Ron Robert specializes in statistics and research.
Marvin Zackley is in the news.
Good guy, the identities and roles of the five people are different, and most people can't see anything, but after listening to everyone's introduction, he understood in an instant.
This is the backbone of a campaign team.
General Manager, Press Spokesperson, Financial Consultant, Opinion Survey Expert, Media Consultant.
This preparation is too sufficient, it seems that tonight, he will face a choice.
I just don't know how big the bargaining chips will be thrown by the forces behind the five people, and what kind of strength they have...
PS: I got a little more, ask for a recommended monthly ticket!
