This is literally what the actual "siege" of the auxiliary ICE building looks like

In our house, it's The Small Fancy Fork that both my (now adult) kids prefer (there is only one).

There's nothing stopping him from registering, though. Then he could accept donations.

Pathetic, but also truly unsurprising from Engler

YVES ENGLER HASNT EVEN APPLIED TO RUN FOR NDP LEADERSHIP???????????

And he’s been accepting donations while implying he applied but hasn’t been approved yet???

Omg 🤦‍♀️

Article here: www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
TORONTO STAR article except reads:

“"It has recently come to my attention that Mr. Yves Engler has been sharing with the media that he has not yet been approved ... to stand as an official leadership candidate. I would like to clarify that we are not in receipt of an application from Mr. Engler, and as such he has no current standing within the leadership contest," chief electoral officer Éric Hébert-Daly said.”

The “LLM AIs are actually people and you mustn’t bully them” thing is like instituting a full murder investigation into that train that got walled up in Thomas the Tank Engine because it had a face on it.
