Ruby Dhalla, born on February eighteenth, nineteen seventy-four, is a prominent Canadian politician, chiropractor, actor, and businessperson. She made history as one of the first Sikh women to serve in the House of Commons of Canada, representing the Brampton—Springdale riding from two thousand four to two thousand eleven as a member of the Liberal Party.
During her tenure, Dhalla was known for her dedication to her constituents and her efforts to promote diversity within Canadian politics. However, her political career faced challenges, including a defeat in the two thousand eleven federal election against Conservative candidate Parm Gill.
In a notable return to the political arena, Dhalla announced her candidacy for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada on January twenty-second, twenty twenty-five. Unfortunately, her campaign was marred by controversy, leading to her disqualification on February twenty-first, twenty twenty-five, due to allegations of violating the Canada Elections Act and issues related to financial reporting.
