Well if the media is interested in his story, why not milk it. It is so rare that figure skaters (and figure skating) get the spotlight in Québec, I don't see the problem with taking advantage of this interest, especially if it can help with sponsors and money for training.Charlie needs to ditch the man-bun, pronto.
Also, the way he has been milking the media to try to get attention since the breakup with Julianne makes me roll my eyes.Why do we need fancy videos, a media marketing day, multiple newspaper and radio interviews, etc. when nothing has happened yet? (And even before he had found a new partner, he was clearly trying to keep his name in the "spotlight", so to speak, which was even more eye-roll-worthy because there was literally no news at that point, or at least nothing he was willing to share with the press.) It would make a lot more sense to just buckle down and train, and let the skating get the attention when there's actually something to show.
I think it will also be very good for MT/M (who I like, again especially her!) to have some real competition in the next few years.

I will give it more than three days though 
I'm not good at summarizing, but they look very good together. They have good chemistry, and it looks like they gelled pretty quickly. Richard seemed very happy to be coaching them (he said that he worked with Cirque in the past and he had ideas for lift positions that no skater were able to realize, but Lubov exceeds his expectations). They do a cool pairs double cantilever. Charlie said he is going to have to work on his flexibility. Richard mentioned that Lubov can do the jumps, in the past it was psychological.
I believe Bruno said they brought in a new jump coach this season. Michael's jumps seemed to have improved this season (World's issues aside), so hopefully that will help.
Thank you for your whole review of the video
I am happy to read the 2 points quoted - that addresses my biggest hopes! 
Kinda agree with you about keeping himself relevant. KMT has always made sure she is in the camera lens and seems to have CBC locked up solid so why use Quebec media to promote his team. As long as no falsehoods are spoken and no disses about other teams or insider false garbage given to TSL, I am all in. Integrity is the issue for me and I am confident of Lubov and willing to give Charlie a chance on that issue unless I see evidence of wrongdoing.
That would be my guess although a childhood photo had it naturally thin as well but I think she has put the past away and started on a fresh new journey in Canada. She values her privacy so I don't think we will see her doing interviews discussing her past ever....maybe a tell all book when she is old so it would not effect skating politics.
Again, I doubt thinking about her hairstyle is the first order of business for their partnership.
Thank-you...In addition I believe Charlie said she arrived in Mtl by car with her boyfriend but did not specify he moved as well . I think he is still in Toronto but visits often but things could have changed. As for the break-up he specified that after the 9th place at the Olympics S/B felt they now could work towards a 5th place or maybe a podium but as they started the season it was not going well and he stopped believing it would happen. I am pleased that Richard is so excited with their potential and does not seem to be filing them as 2nd string. That was one of my fears. I also believed it is a head problem as far as the jumps are concerned. In 2017 I was thinking that if they did a transition right before the jumps it would divide Lubov's attention so she wouldn't freeze on the jump and they did enter their jumps that year with hands behind their back and were more successful that yr. with jumps. Richard has been giving his teams more transitions this year which he has to to stay with the competition and I am sure he could put a new entry into the jumps to help the situation along with the new jump coach might solve the problem...As well Lubov's performing for 8 months wit the Cirque could make her more comfortable with performing. My concern is the twist. I hope Richard does not regress both their twists into the usual Cdn one which is not competitive. Lubov has a beautiful Russian twist and Charlie and Julieann had visited Lyndon Jphnson and havd a good twist so between them they should be able to do a great twist and right now internationally they will not go far without one. I will really miss Julianne's skating but do not believe she is finished yet. I hope she takes time to completely heal and then take stock of what she wants before making decisions.
As well I was thrilled Charlie has been working with Sam Chouinard....I hope he is used this yr in some way in their programs.
I forgot about that. She lived in France for about 9 months I believe but they gave up hope Russian Fed. would release her.
Yes he did and he also said when he fed into it the basics of what he was looking for it said they had no one with those qualities. He also said Lubov brings the Russian attention to details, working very hard, and many repititions.Did he call Ice Partner Search "the Tinder of the ice?"
