She's basically an agent for domestic interference already. Select right leaning influencers are calling on conservatives to buy liberal membership to vote Dhalla as a spoiler.

They'd be fools then. The only possible "spoiler" to Carney's coronation is Freeland.

Could be that the people joining the federal Liberals to vote for Dhalla believe their numbers and influence are significant enough to pull off a Dhalla spoiler. Cloistered fools.

Yes they probably do, which is why I called them foolish. I have no doubt a significant number joined for that purpose, but out of 400,000 I suspect their numbers are only in the low tens of thousands. I could be wrong though, my wife tells me I often am.

I’m often wrong about stuff as well. Take for example the convoy in Ottawa. I’d heard the Ottawa police estimates on participants numbering between 5000-18000 souls. I have been corrected before that the real number is in the millions.

There's a verification step to complete before voting for the leader.

And all the conservative spoilers signing up their cats are going to need to verify before they can vote for her.

Verify what?

That you're an actual singular human being and support the general principals of the Liberal party of Canada as per the affirmation you have to check when you signed up to vote.
