Shealsotoldmedia thatsheresearchedonline aboutsentencesrendered inprevioussextortioncases inCanadaandtheUnited States,andwasdisappointed withtheresults.

Still,“I’mhoping,with alltheevidence,thatJustice Devlincanmakeagooddecisionthatwe’llallbehappy with.”

Askedbythe Tri-City News whatthatwouldbefor her,CarolToddresponded, “It’sacloseofachapter becausethere’smorework tobedoneintheareasof exploitationandsextortion onchildrenandpredators aroundtheworld.

“Whatthatlookslikefor meisAydinCobanwillbe keptinprisonandoffthe streets.Hewon’tbethereto re-offend,andchildrenwill besaferformanyyearsto come.

Duringthetrial,thejury heardhowCobanhadlured AmandaToddonline,startinginNovember2009when shewas11,convincedher toexposeherselfanddistributedthoseimagestoher friendsandfamilyviaher socialmediachannels.

Coban,using22fake aliases,continuedwithhis “persistentcampaignof onlinesextortion”against Todduntil2012,theCrown Counselsaidduringthe trial,andfollowedherasshe

Butmakenomistake —Poilievrehasinstantly madetheConservatives competitiveenoughto worrytheJustinTrudeauledLiberalParty,which hasfacedtwoweakchal lengers(AndrewScheer andErinO’Toole)inthe lasttwoelections.

OneofPoilievre’sbiggeststrengthsishisability asacommunicator.

Thetrickforhimnowis toemploythatskilltalking abouttheissuesthatwill

resonatewithvoterswho havenotvotedforhis partyinrecentelections.

Duringhisleadership campaign,Poilievrespent muchofhistimetalking aboutfringeissuessuch asvaccinemandates,the BankofCanadagovernor, cryptocurrencyandthe WorldEconomicForum.

Healsowillinglyassociatedwithextremists,or atleastrefusedtodisassociatehimselffromthem.

Whilethisapproach obviouslyworkedwellin theleadershiprace,itis unlikelytogainthesame tractionwiththegeneral votingpublic,particularly inurbanareaswhere mostoftheelectoralridingsarelocated.

However,ifPoilievre canpivotandmakesuch issuesasaffordability,taxationandhousinghistop

priorities,hemaycatch lightninginabottle.

Manycommentators thinkhewillalsominethe immigrantvoteasboth LiberalandConservative governmentssuccessfully didinthepast.

WorkingtohisadvantageisthattheTrudeau government’sbestbefore datehaslikelyexpired. Theprimeminister’sown popularityhassunkto historiclows,anditwill beachallengetorebuild hisbrand.

Ofcourse,theLiberals (andtheNDP)willexploit andusePoilievre’svulnerabilitiestothehilt.
