In one of the most shocking news stories of the year, the Liberal Party of Canada kicked out former leadership candidate Ruby Dalla, who had raised $350,000 to run in the leadership race, and now they don't want to give any of it back.
00:00:00.000So, in what will be one of the least shocking news stories of the year, the Liberal Party of Canada is trying to steal money right now.
00:00:10.180They let a bunch of people run in their leadership election who have to raise money in order to pay down payments to be on the ballot in the race,
00:00:19.420and then they are allowed to just kick people out and pocket the money anyways.
00:00:25.020This is what the Liberal Party is currently doing to former Liberal leadership candidate Ruby Dalla,
00:00:32.240who had raised the $350,000 to get in the race, and now the Liberals don't want to give any of it back after kicking her out for very vague reasons.
00:00:43.380It has to do with apparently financial issues with her campaign.
00:00:47.700They said there were 10 major problems they discovered, although they haven't really detailed any of them out.
00:00:53.220The one they did mention was provably false in the sense that it was like a husband and wife who both donated on the same credit card.
00:01:03.300And if you were to consider that some sort of, like, financial issue, the campaigns of Mark Carney and Chrystia Freeland did the same thing.
00:01:13.780But here is a video of Ruby Dalla addressing this on the CBC, and then she actually sent out a press email to all the media on her appeal that she's currently undergoing.
00:01:24.400It is certainly not surprising, because I think the Liberal Party of Canada was seeing exactly what our internal polls are telling us.
00:01:32.920That my campaign and my team, we were neck to neck with a front runner in the race.
00:01:38.060They did not want me to go on to that debate stage in Montreal.
00:01:41.720They certainly did not want me on that ballot.
00:01:44.360And the Liberal Party of Canada wanted to complete the coronation of Mark Carney.
00:01:48.700All of the allegations that you have mentioned, they are completely false.
00:01:54.120And I will not allow the Liberal Party of Canada, or anyone for that matter, to smear my name or to smear the name of thousands of volunteers in our campaign.
00:02:03.760So what she did say over top of this post is she said the establishment is clearly rattled.
00:02:10.540The Liberal Party had a clear agenda from the start.
00:02:15.560Will they do the right thing and refund the hard-earned money that hard-working Canadians donated to my campaign?
00:02:22.400And you know what the Liberals are also going after?
00:02:25.820Not only do they want the $350,000 from Ruby Dalla's campaign to use to fund their own operations,
00:02:34.580but this allows them to also basically ban Ruby Dalla from being able to run for office again.
00:02:41.980If they take her money away and then she's unable to pay back a bunch of her campaign expenses that she was supposed to be able to use some of that $350,000 to pay off,
00:02:53.160because that's how it usually works in these leadership elections, you have to have $350,000 to qualify.
00:03:03.340And now the party can just not give it back to her and buy Elections Canada rules, which are very loose when it comes to leadership races and nominations.
00:03:11.680But the one thing they're strict on is that you actually have to rectify your finances by the end.
00:03:18.000And the Liberals can now hold Ruby Dalla hostage by taking in all of her money, not even giving it back to her donors, not giving it back to her.
00:03:25.180And she ends up being offside with Elections Canada, and they end up making it so that she can't even get back in the race.
00:03:37.540She can't run for anything, potentially, because she might be offside on finance issues.
00:03:42.360And the donors don't even get their money back.
00:03:45.140Again, one of the main reasons, and I say again because I've mentioned this in previous videos, one of the main reasons that they couldn't have Ruby Dalla in this race is not because Ruby was going to win.
00:03:56.780I highly doubt that Ruby was neck and neck with Mark Carney.
00:04:02.180I think she maybe could punch above her weight, get maybe 13%, 14%, 15% on first ballot.
00:04:07.880But the main reason why she was a threat is that if she got on that debate stage and she ripped Mark Carney a new one, it would throw his entire brand into question.
00:04:18.420Mark Carney's brand is already mud at this point.
00:04:21.960Nobody really cares about Mark Carney.
00:04:25.680I guess he's not Trudeau, so it's pumping the Liberals' numbers up a bit.
00:04:29.140But the man has skeletons in his closet that are already pouring out onto the floor because while he seems like a very buttoned-down professional banker,
00:04:37.980he's also a radical leftist on so many issues.
00:04:40.980His support of central bank digital currencies, like carbon tax tariffs, he supported the increase of capital gains inclusion rates.
00:04:49.980Every stupid lefty policy that the Liberals have pursued over the last four to five years have been advised on by Mark Carney.
00:04:57.900Anyways, I do want to move on from this issue because I do want to go down to the ongoing attack ad run that the Liberals are currently running against Conservative Party leader Pierre Polyev.
00:05:57.680By the way, these are things that literally every politician who is at least reasonable will say in their career.
00:06:06.440There's stuff like bring it home that everyone said forever.
00:06:09.760But talking about crime in cities, is that really your big hit on Pierre Polyev that he thinks crime's a problem and Donald Trump also thinks crime's a problem?
00:06:20.140Like it's almost like those two can see material reality and they can notice that there's a lot of crime in our cities, that everything's getting dingier, that we actually need to enforce the law.
00:06:32.520You know, we should crack down on vandals and people shoplifting and people selling and using drugs in the streets.
00:06:53.200I have another embarrassing cartoon to show you.
00:06:55.300This is not from the Liberal Party of Canada.
00:06:57.340And yes, that was a Liberal Party video.
00:06:59.680They're trying to do this sort of weird meme format where like they play the very kind of boring, I guess, slightly stock music over photos with a text popping up.
00:07:12.660So I think they think it's funny, but it doesn't land literally at all.
00:07:17.060But here is an article from D'Adder Canada.
00:07:20.320And this is another media hit we've seen on Pierre Polyev, another political and media hit we've seen for a couple of years now.
00:07:31.720So D'Adder Canada has this cartoon here depicting Pierre Polyev choking out a member of the press saying, I don't understand why the media doesn't like me.
00:07:42.560How has Pierre Polyev metaphorically hurt the media in any way?
00:07:50.180When did he ever do something that damaged the media?
00:07:53.820What, is it because at a recent press conference he took independent media questions and that's a threat to the legacy media who's already heavily subsidized by the Canadian taxpayer?
00:08:05.140Or is it because he pushes back on bad questions from reporters?
00:08:09.900I think that that's a job of any politician, that if they think a question is unfair, that they refuse to ask it and they actually go after the reporter for smearing their character.
00:08:20.100Because Pierre Polyev does not get asked unkind questions that he doesn't want to answer.
00:08:26.300He gets asked smear questions, where the whole point of the question is that it makes Canadians think, oh, well, he had to be asked if he supports the far right or something like that.
00:08:37.320Or he had to be asked if he's a white nationalist or whatever the media has been doing to Pierre Polyev.
00:08:43.300And even if you answer it straight up and you say, no, that's ridiculous, blah, blah, blah, there's still going to be the sort of Canadian who's like, oh, why did it have to be asked in the first place?
00:08:52.960And Pierre Polyev knows this game, so he goes at the reporter themselves that you're smearing me.
00:08:58.560Name something because you seem pretty sure that I'm a horrible human being.
00:09:03.260So I'd love to know what your background information is.
00:09:07.240You keep saying I'm far right that I'm doing something out of Donald Trump's playbook.
00:09:11.340And the funny thing is that it's doing something out of Donald Trump's playbook is mostly just saying he's doing conservative things.
00:09:17.700Because Donald Trump, for the most part, is just a conservative.
00:09:20.780Most people on the right around the world are just conservatives.
00:09:24.180And so they can't really name a policy that Donald Trump has, that Pierre Polyev has, that's bad, because they'd probably just name a policy from Donald Trump that if Canadians heard it, they'd be like, well, you know, that's kind of fair.
00:09:36.880You should probably deport people who illegally enter your country.
00:09:40.140You should probably do Becks, Y, or Zed when it comes to, you know, men and women's sports, when it comes to cracking down on bad prosecutors and whatnot.
00:09:52.480And that's why the hit never works, because you can't name something that Polyev and Trump agree on that would actually be considered deeply unpopular.
00:10:01.740Anyways, there's one more story I want to touch on before I end the video.
00:10:06.220By the way, guys, at 9 p.m. Eastern time tonight, or I think it's 8 p.m., we have a video coming out, not hosted by me, but hosted by my friend Benjamin Dichter.
00:10:15.900We're doing another interview with Jim Carajalios for the, not the BC, Ontario provincial election.
00:10:24.660He's going to be doing a little bit of a background on what the new blue party is, who Jim Carajalios is, because BJ and Jim have known each other for a while, so we wanted to host that interview here.
00:10:34.740So again, if you don't see me on it, nothing's wrong.
00:10:38.320Just every once in a while, Daniel Bordmore or BJ Dichter sometimes releases something around on the channel.
00:10:45.320Anyways, I want to talk about the BC NDP going after a very good conservative MLA, Dallas Brody, the only BC conservative MLA in the city of Vancouver.
00:10:57.920She's in Vancouver, Quilchina, as the MLA.
00:11:01.100And NDP people, NDP MLA is like Christine Boyle, who I guess is the BC MLA for Vancouver Little Mountain.
00:11:09.960She is attacking Dallas Brody because Dallas Brody has said the very true statement that there have been zero bodies found, zero bodies of children found under the Kamloops Indian Residential School.
00:11:22.480By the way, prefacing, residential schools were bad for the most part.
00:11:27.220Obviously, you're going to have people who had fine stories, and it was just a boring, stupid summer school they went to, or it was just some boarding school.
00:11:36.560But for some reason, the left has tried to maneuver our society into the position where, unless you agree to the most fever-dreamish-fueled horror stories about residential schools,
00:11:50.280then you're just denying that they were bad, even though you just want reality and truth to actually rule the day,
00:11:58.200and we want to actually, you know, tell stories of Canadian history that are accurate to it.
