It is freaking sleazy, no question and the use of a trojan horse style candidate to target someone else seems way over the top, but again what laws would it be breaking?
Im just getting up to speed on this but so far i haven't read what it is exactly the RCMP would be investigating other than where the money came from and how it ended up where it did.

Well it is illegal. The idea that a PAC (or any party) can raise money and have people make contributions with the funds funneled to them is completely illegal. That’s the RCMP involvement. It’s also why Elections Alberta has already fined people and to top it all off it’s in the course of that investigation where Elections Alberta was sending letters to get people to stop obstructing that investigation. Literally every aspect here is rotten from the clandestine meetings and planning, right through to this cover up operation.
