There are a lot of ways I'd refer to her before "Former Langley MP candidate".
Yeah, it being Lauren Southern is more notable than a former candidate as a Langley MP.
I'm assuming this is related to those two Russians with RTv recently indicted funneling something like 9.7 million USD through presumably Tenet Media, where Lauren is a⦠media personality? Influencer? Pundit? Host? Streamer? Cam girl?
This seems to be the actual indictment, in case anyone wants to read it:

"Former Langley MP" really buries the lede.
Maybe "protofascist grifter" would be more accurate?
Southern has in the past defended neo-Nazis and other far right figures. In 2017, she was detained by the Italian Coast Guard after she was on board a boat that tried to interfere with the efforts of a search and rescue craft that was funded by Doctors Without Borders. She has also endorsed conspiracy theories about the so-called "Great Replacement."
Ok, so racist fascist. Got it. Looks cute, but actually a monster. Very useful for them.
A key member identified as Commentator 1 was to be paid $400,000 per month plus a $100,000 signing bonus, while Commentator 2's contract was for $100,000 per video.
Holy shit. That's astounding.
Libertarians are not known for being particularly clever.
