Western Standard News Editor Dave Naylor has spent more than a month investigating the story of Caylan Ford. Ford seemed certain to be a potential political star – intelligent, photogenic and ready to make a mark..She was recruited by Jason Kenney to run for the Alberta UCP in the 2019 election. Ford seemed to be on the path to stardom when she was shot down in flames by rumours and planted news stories in an NDP-affiliated propaganda “news” website..Ford blames one man for her downfall – Karim Jivraj. Much of this story is almost unbelievable and would not have been taken seriously by the Western Standard had it not been for the hard proof obtained by its staff. Over the next week, Naylor will tell their story backed with interviews, and court documentation..Karim Jivraj, under oath, has admitted to sending false sexual innuendos under fake Twitter handles to try and ruin the reputation of a possible star Tory recruit and other women in politics..Jivraj ran as a Tory in the 2015 federal election in Toronto, placing third. He had been seeking the nomination in Calgary Centre – but the Conservative party refused to allow him to run..The false tweets he sent seemed to be a bid to bring down the candidacy of Caylan Ford, a woman who apparently held a strange fascination for Jivraj..Ford, recruited to run for the UCP by Jason Kenney, was running for the riding of Calgary-Mountainview..In 2017, Jivraj operated a pseudonymous Twitter account, @TeamBlue2018, which he used to make allegations against a number of Conservative political candidates in Ontario, including accusations of fraud, corruption, and sexual innuendo against female candidates. He also started using an account called @serena84.. Screen-Shot-2021-04-05-at-3.58.48-PMFake Jivraj tweet .Under deposition questioning by Ford’s lawyer R.E. Harrison, Jivraj admitted he was the author of the fake tweets..Q: Did you author and post these tweets under the pseudonym “TeamBlue2018”?.A: Yes..Under questioning, from Harrison, Jivraj also admitted fake tweets targeted other women..Q: Now, referring to Exhibit A for Identification, you would agree with me that a number of these tweets concern an individual by the name of Sue Liu? And I can specifically refer you to page 3 of the document..A: Yes.Q: Ms. Liu was a nomination contestant for the riding of Don Valley North? You suggest in the tweets that Ms. Liu was in an intimate relationship with Bob Stanley, who was the executive director of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario?.A: I see that.. Screen-Shot-2021-04-05-at-4.26.38-PMFake tweet .Q: And you would agree with that suggestion?.A: It was a rumour I heard, yes..Q: You then suggest Ms. Liu was given preferential treatment due to her intimate relationship with Mr. Stanley?.A: Yes..Q: And you said that that was based on a rumour that you heard?.A: Yes. From a fairly credible source. Yes..In early March 2018, Jivraj told another political contestant that Ford had made false accusations of sexual harassment against that person. He later admitted Ford had not done this.. Screen-Shot-2021-04-05-at-4.28.16-PMFake retweet .Q Your statement to Mr. Schuman that: (as read) She is saying you made inappropriate advances on her, refers to Ms. Ford?.A: I believe so, yes..Q: You’re informing Mr. Schuman that Ms. Ford alleges that Mr. Schuman made inappropriate advances on Ms. Ford?.A: It appears so..Q: That statement is false?.A: It was terribly worded..Q: That statement is false?.A: It is very poorly worded..Q: How does it bear any reality to what actually happened?.(NO VERBAL RESPONSE).Q: I just have a couple more questions about Schuman.

I don’t need a soliloquy..A: Not exactly..Q: Okay. Thank you..A: It was a terrible miscommunication..Q: Yeah, I’d say..The saga of Karim Jivraj’s campaign against Ford and other conservative women is just too incredible to be told in a single feature article. That is why the Western Standard has decided to break it down into a series which will dive into several of the actions taken by Mr. Jivraj. It is a story that we did not believe until we obtained the evidence..NEXT STORY: Tory admits to online campaign of harassment against woman.PREVIOUSLY: It’s a case sex, lies and agent provocateurs. It’s a story how a cancel culture mob fuelled on fake stories ruined the life of a rising female political star..Dave Naylor is the News Editor of the Western Standard.,dnaylor@westernstandardonline.com,.Twitter.com/nobby7694
