How so? I know Liberals who have told me the opposite. (Again, this is not a loaded question, but I am just puzzled the whole Eve Adams saga. I've seen allegations all over the place, but have yet to hear any details.)
Because everyone internally was mystified as to why she was being welcomed into the party. I didn't know anyone who was happy with the decision besides those higher up in the party who were calling the shots.
Basically, riding associations don't like meddling. They especially don't like meddling when it is a candidate that has no ties to a riding (or the association), and when that candidate comes from another party. Riding associations do a lot of work to find suitable candidates. Having someone suddenly parachute themselves in, while getting support from the leader of the party, doesn't bode well for those who have been working on finding a candidate that is suitable to a riding.
