A published report says leaked internal documents reveal the federal Conservative party has a secret strategy to undermine Justin Trudeau, exploit Laureen Harper's popularity and create a state-of-the-art database of potential supporters.

The Toronto Star says among the documents is a draft agreement to pay $14,000 per month to Guy Giorno, a former chief of staff to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, to act as the party's legal adviser.

Giorno's law firm, Fasken Martineau, already represents another of Harper's former chiefs of staff, Nigel Wright. Wright is under RCMP investigation after it was revealed last spring that he had personally given $90,000 to Mike Duffy to enable the disgraced senator to reimburse the Senate for disputed living expenses claims.

Giorno and his law firm declined to comment.

Among other things, the Star reports that the documents include a presentation by Conservative executive director Dimitri Soudas, outlining the party's plans as it prepares for an election in the fall of 2015.

The paper says Soudas's presentation includes plans apparently aimed at humanizing Harper, including various techniques for having him "connect" with people and plans to "leverage" the popularity of his wife, Laureen, including a "with Mrs. Harper" video series.

Sophie is going to win the wife-off too.

Wonderful. Cynicism is all the CPC has to sell.

As has been shown via the CBC article, this is a standard tactic of all parties.

Hopefully, JT will rise above this nonsense when given the chance to retaliate - like he did when the CPC ran those attack ads on him last year.

* Fingers crossed for a better political scene

If he can do that and still pull off a win, he really would be a miracle worker. Going negative wins, almost all the time.

Of course, this is why Obama suffered such a humiliating defeat, and why Kim Campbell is still our prime minister.



Remember round one of the Justin attack ads? When Justin's popularity went up and Harper's went down?

[DrCaleb]

I see now the CPC are using the tired old line "Therr gunna take mah GUNS!". lol

Predictable.

Justin Trudeau undermines himself.

Federal Liberals are boasting that they broke a bunch of fundraising records in the last three months of 2013 — raising more money than they've ever done before in a single day, in a month and in a quarter.

We're doomed. DOOMED!
