Will Ruby Dhalla Survive this Political Scandal?

[jdobbin]

But she is in deep doggy doo regardless.

I guess we will find out in an election.

I certainly don't see Parliament getting to the bottom of the issue. Perhaps it will go to court. At the moment, it looks like a she said/they said.

Some people think she is guilty already. Are you of that opinion? You don't believe that this needs to go to court?

I couldn't give a damn about an election. This isn't about an election.... and which one?? As the Ontario Liberals have just as much dropped the ball.

Ruby appears like a typical elitist.

The Ontario Liberals like the Keystone Cops.

Yes, foreign nannies are often given equality in our employment system. It is quite apparent that the Ontario Liberals choose to do NOTHING to aid these women and their complaints.

You really think that Foreign nannies hand their passports over to "Strangers" and that agencies who called Ruby Dhalla are LYING, when they forced HER to return the passports.

I'm saying it stinks to high heaven.

And stinking and getting Re Elected don't always happen in the fashion we expect.

I could see her getting re elected.

I don't believe her.

Well, I don't think we'll be seeing one for either jurisdiction immediately. I guess people will have to put the outrage in their back pockets for another time.

Ruby appears like a typical elitist.

How so? Because she has nannies?

The Ontario Liberals like the Keystone Cops.

Can't speak to that issue since I have no idea what was going on prior to the accusations or what really happened when they were made.

Someone is lying. You seem to have made a decision about who.

Do you think Parliament is best equipped to find out?

I'm saying it stinks to high heaven.

And you don't need to hear or see actual evidence of guilt to declare guilt?

And stinking and getting Re Elected don't always happen in the fashion we expect.

I could see her getting re elected.

I don't believe her.

And I don't know who to believe. I just know that the committee won't find out.

The whole thing is weird, did you see this

woman retracts letter of support for Dhalla

OTTAWA — First it was two Filipina caregivers who claimed to have been mistreated by Liberal MP Ruby Dhalla.

Now an 81-year-old Filipina woman claims she has been used in the affair, causing her to become sick, stressed and a pariah in her community.

Aurora Villanueva's name was attached to a purported statement this month from the Brampton Filipino Seniors Club.

This is unbelievable. The Dhalla Office SOLICITED a GOOD LETTER and had an 81 year old Philipino women sign it. There is a trend of the Dhalla people to use Philipinos for their own personal needs and political gain.

This certainly didn't gain enough attention.

What strikes me is that the entire Dhalla Team and her Liberal Cronies are nothing but arrogant and disgraceful.

TOO LATE!!!!

I guess a few days back, the Liberals were content with her fundraising and membership efforts. She gets to stay on as a Liberal and will not have to face a nomination battle.

Liberals Rig Nomination for Dhalla

Disgraceful

whaa! madmax taking liberty with the headline... whatever one thinks of the "affair", Ms. Dhalla has met the exact same nomination qualifying requirements as any other party member. So... it is clear... your article headline is what's rigged.

Controversial MP meets Liberal rules to defend Brampton-Springdale

I really don't know, which part of the article you wish to be proud of...

The fact that if she raises money or at least appears to be raising money, this is a worthy position for an MP.

This is one of the more annoying aspects of the Liberals. However, why should we expect any different, the Liberals parachuted Ignatief into the riding, screwed over the riding association, Rigged his nomination and then did just about the same with his becoming leader of the party.

Of course the criteria is elistist, but that is expected of an arrogant party with arrogant leadership.

Its rather amusing that an MP can purchase a secure nomination.

Why prevent other candidates that have the ability to sign up members and challenge Ruby Dhalla in a nomination battle?

Its nice to know that the Liberal Party will set aside democracy if you have enough cash.

Yeah, its good that the Conservatives have never done that before. That would make them as bad as the Liberals would it not?

of course... a straight-forward deflection attempt by the Harper Conservatives... much easier to go on a political witch-hunt than deal with record deficits, EI, etc.

Dhalla witch-hunt ends in a whimper

They didn’t quite admit it was a misplaced political witch hunt, but the parliamentary committee probing nanny abuse allegations in the family home of high-profile MP Ruby Dhalla found no fault with her treatment of caregivers.

And so the Toronto Star’s great ‘nannygate’ investigation ends with a committee whimper that proves nothing except that politics is the worst of all bloodsports.
