So Aheer is officially running for the UCP leadership. She's interesting because she was the only UCP MLA to criticize Kenney for being too slow on implementing restrictions.
I think she'd be really formidable in a general election, but I'm not sure she's got a chance in the leadership race, as she'll be the last-choice for most of the former WRP (interesting because she's former WRP herself), and UCP insiders may consider her a backstabber for publically speaking out against Kenney and party policy.
Where she might have an impact is that she might draw otherwise reluctant moderate PC voters to cast a vote, and those voters, even if they're not enough to get her into the final ballots, may help an establishment candidate like Toews.
