Episode description

Ruby Dhalla, an Indo-Canadian former MP, was disqualified from the Liberal Party of Canada’s leadership race on February 21, 2025, just days before key debates in Montreal. The party’s Leadership Vote Committee unanimously cited 10 "extremely serious" violations of campaign rules, including financial irregularities and the alleged involvement of a non-Canadian citizen, prompting concerns about potential foreign interference linked to India. Dhalla denounced the decision as "shocking and deeply disappointing," rejecting the allegations as "fabricated, fictitious, and fake," and claimed her disqualification—leaked to the media before she was officially notified—was a move to silence her outsider candidacy challenging the party establishment. The race now continues with four remaining contenders, including Mark Carney, amid heightened scrutiny over its integrity.
