Ruby Dalla is a nasty piece of work. I saw her interviewed after she was officially disqualified as a Liberal leadership candidate for violating many different leadership voting and expenses rules. Of course, she denied all culpability - very few politicians actually admit to errors these days, they just bluster their way through it; we can thank Donald Trump for that - and of course she accused the Liberal Party of discrimination, as a woman, as a visible minority, and probably as a few other things as well.
Well, clearly Ms. Dalla did not forget this embarrassment, because just yesterday, the day before the federal election, she chose to publicly whine about it again, and effectively endorse Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives. "Make the right choice for change", she advises, parroting Poilievre's favourite by-line.
So, not really a died-in-the-wool Liberal after all, just a professional politician on the make, willing to take whatever steps she needs to get a bit of power and influence. It seems to me that the Liberals dodged a bullet with her. Don't be surprised to see her standing as a Conservative sometime soon. If they'll have her, that is.
