Why was Ruby Dhalla disqualified?

Ruby Dhalla tweeted that she had just been informed by the Liberal Party of Canada that she had been disqualified from the leadership race. This decision is shocking and deeply disappointing, especially since it was leaked to the media. The allegations the party has made against me are false and fabricated. The tactics used to remove me from the race only confirm what we already knew – our message was resonating, we were winning, and the establishment felt threatened. One day it was foreign interference, one day it was campaign intimidation – all in an attempt to stop me from debating Carney and winning. I will stand up for Canadians and keep fighting.
