Ruby, your statement is heavy on emotion but light on evidence, and it’s time to call out the holes in your story. You paint yourself as a victim of some grand Liberal conspiracy, but let’s break this down and see if it holds water.

First, you say you entered the race as a “fresh face” with “progressive policy ideas” to bring the party back to the center. That sounds noble, but your campaign didn’t exactly scream moderation. You pushed ideas like deporting illegal immigrants, pulling out of the Paris climate agreement, and rethinking Canada’s role in NATO—positions that veer hard from the Liberal Party’s core values. If you were trying to “center” the party, why were your policies so far out of step with what most Liberals stand for? It’s no shock the establishment didn’t embrace you; you weren’t offering a bridge, you were burning one.

Second, you claim the party disqualified you to “keep you off the debate stage” and ensure Mark Carney’s “coronation.” But the Liberal Party didn’t just wake up one day and decide to boot you. They cited 10 specific violations—things like inaccurate financial reporting, potential breaches of the Canada Elections Act, and even hints of foreign interference. You dismiss these as “false, fictitious, and fabricated,” but where’s your proof? You’ve said some donations were refunded and rerouted properly, fine—but that doesn’t explain the other nine issues. If this was a sham, why did the party’s appeals committee, after a full review with your input, unanimously uphold the decision? Are you suggesting every single person involved is corrupt or incompetent, except you?

Third, your “momentum” argument is shaky at best. You say it grew “day by day,” but the hard numbers don’t back that up. Elections Canada data showed you raised $144,880—dead last among candidates—while Carney pulled in $1.9 million. Polls consistently pegged him as the frontrunner, not you “neck and neck” with him, as you’ve claimed elsewhere. If millions of Canadians were rallying behind you, where’s the evidence? Fundraising? Polling? Grassroots events? It’s a stretch to say the party feared your momentum when the data suggests you were barely in the race.

And let’s talk about this “attack on democracy” line. The Liberal Party has rules—steep ones, sure, like the $350,000 entry fee you paid—but they apply to everyone. You knew the game going in. When Chandra Arya got disqualified earlier, he didn’t cry conspiracy; he took it and moved on. You’re not the first to get cut, but you’re the loudest about framing it as a personal vendetta. If anything, the process—interviews, questionnaires, an appeal—shows they gave you a shot to defend yourself. Democracy doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed a spot; it means you play by the rules or face the consequences.

Finally, your jab at Carney’s “asterisk” is pure sour grapes. If he wins, it’s because he built a campaign that followed the rules, raised the cash, and won the votes—things you couldn’t do. You say you’ll keep fighting for Canadians, but this statement reads more like a fight for your own ego. The Liberal Party didn’t silence you; they held you accountable. If you want to lead, start by owning that instead of spinning a martyr tale.
