So I'm sitting here, eating my Cheerios, reading National Newswatch, when I see this ad:
I asked myself: is this a scam?
It has the Liberal Party wordmark on it, so I figure it's legit although... the graphic quality isn't great.
I click on it, and lo and behold it does link to the Liberal party website. This is what I saw:
If you read a brief summary of the rules:

There's the suggestion that money gets you potential access to Justin Trudeau. Not just handshaking access like you might get at a rally. But personal access.

But doesn't that lend itself to all kinds of deviousness?

Breathe a sigh of relief Liberals, I won't but...
Don't be surprised if this blows up in your face.
