Liberal Party scrambles to remove fake profiles before leadership race

Party officials are scrambling to clean up a membership mess after the party's lax registration rules were taken advantage of.

 

The Liberal Party of Canada is facing criticism over lax voting requirements after reports surfaced of individuals creating fake profiles to register for the party's upcoming leadership vote.

Party spokesperson Parker Lund confirmed that officials are working to remove fake registrations from the voter rolls ahead of the March 9 leadership election.

"The Liberal Party of Canada is aware of these ridiculous, fraudulent registration attempts," Lund wrote on X. "The national party secretary has the ability to remove registrants from our lists and will be removing these fraudulent profiles well in advance of any leadership vote."

The reports emerged after some individuals boasted online about registering fake names, pet names, and even addresses linked to the Prime Minister's residence or the Chinese Embassy.

The leadership race was triggered on Monday when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation. The party will announce its new leader on March 9.

Justin Trudeau is hiding the truth from Canadians. Multiple MPs have been implicated in the China spy scandal, yet Trudeau refuses to release their names. Who are they? Why is he protecting them? We deserve to know which politicians are compromised by a foreign regime, but Trudeau’s secrecy puts our democracy at risk. Sign the petition now and demand that Trudeau come clean — Canadians have the right to know which MPs are under China's influence.

    I missed my opportunity to sign up Deborah, Gideon, Athena, Neutrino, and the rest of the cats and rabbits I had. Delta is my cat now but she’d make a fine Liberal. She just eats, sleeps, and excretes.

    I’ve got two very opinionated cats, can I sign them up too? Oh, never mind… something about a snowball’s chance in Hell that they would vote Liberal! A bit of integrity I suspect!
