Candidate faces 12 allegations of breaching party rules, source says

The source said she faced 12 allegations, including accepting donations from a corporation in the form of payments to campaign staff.

Dhalla was accused of failing to disclose the involvement of a non-Canadian citizen in her campaign, which the party alleges would amount to foreign interference if it happened during an election period.

Holy moly, this is some damn good TV: Ruby Dhalla learns on CBC's Power & Politics she's been disqualified | Power & Politics

She learns her fate live from her interviewer, and they both try to cope in real time. It's amazing.

I have not laughed so hard in a long while.

It was funny, but also astonishing and impressive watching them both work their respective crafts.

"These allegations are fabricated, fictitious and fake and yet another attempt by unknown sources to have me removed from the debate and the ballot," she said.

She had no chance of winning why is she kicking up a fuss? I know the whole democratic process means you have a chance up until after the ballets are counted but really, she was a very obvious conservative dressed in liberal clothing.

I think it has to do with her motivations. Let's say I don't think her candidacy is organic...

She's probably kicking up a fuss to create the same "The elections are rigged" sentiment that conservatives have thoroughly exploited in the US.

Good fucking luck. Out of all the shit Canada has adopted from American sources I'm happy to say our judiciary has not been infected with right-wingnut disease ... yet anyway.

I'm hoping that will hold firm in the future tho.

She’s a scam artist, hoping to dilute the voting pool. MAGA tried, and now they have failed.

First in hockey, and now with their sock puppet.

Canada keeps winning!

Why has the Liberal party never had a female leader to run the party?

Like the other commenter said: Kim Campbell. Basically the same reason why the NDP haven't been in power federally since the 90s (thanks, Bob Rae).

Bob Rae's strategy for coping with the recession was brand new, never tried before. It worked to the degree that it is now studied and emulated. Ontario had one of the best governments at the time. It's not Bob Rae's fault, it's Ontario's fault.

I know that. It's not me that you have to convince. But it's dishonest to pretend that he's not the reason why the NDP have not held meaningful federal power since.

[–] jerkface 1 points 30 minutes ago* (last edited 29 minutes ago)

Either you agree with me that it's not Bob Rae's fault, or you continue to blame Bob Rae, you can't have it both! It's not dishonest, it's the truth.

[–] OminousOrange 7 points 16 hours ago

Not a bad question, but I'm not sure it's relevant to this story.

[–] Reannlegge 2 points 15 hours ago

I really hate to say it but they probably saw what happened to Kim Campbell and are having difficulties with it.
