No doubt with thoughts of turning that $10,000 into a much larger sum.
At her age if something seems too good to be true it probably is, would you invest that much in something you know nothing about?
Where did you come up with the info about the severance package, a sub-link only says it was given to her because the guy 'felt bad about firing her'?
True, but Canadian law doesn't travel with you around the world just because you happen to be Canadian.
What would be her sentence be for that same crime in Canada?
That her family said things would be different if they had bribed the Judge is rather insulting to Mexico in general isn't it? (even though it may be quite true) Even in Canada spend enough on Lawyers you get a different judgment than if you walk in alone.
Were all her papers in order to be working there, it would seem like Mexico shouldn't have any problems in being short on qualified cooks.

Then Mexico would get PO'd with us on not respecting their laws and judgements, of letting out this Bi'atch who scammed their country and most likely the next time something like this happens, the Canadian in question will have a lot more to worry about.

Exactly!
$26,000 in severance, for being a cook that got fired?
Quoting #juan
By "Our" standards? FFS, that's more then what I'm getting paid..... and I can cook too.... give me a million friggin dollars!
$26,000.00 represented a year's salary which was in her agreement with the crook that employed her. She was after all a chef/cook and that salary was not particularly high by our standards.
Quote:
If she was fired, then why would she invest anything into the company to begin with?
If she knew her boss's business was a scam, why did she try to invest $10,000.00 in it?
Quote:
BS.... I don't want that scam artist getting out. I also hope that Mexico rejects the transfer and holds her down in Mexico for her full jail time because the above is exactly what would occur. 6 months or less by the time she gets back into Canada and she'd be let out on good behavior and sympathy for her BS medical excuses.
She was not given an interpreter. That alone would have seen the case thrown out in Canada. We should just bring her back to Canada and set her free as soon as possible.

Why, because she got caught and found guilty of commiting a crime in their country? Damn.... heaven forbid a Canadian can't get away with a crime in another country.... boo hoo.
Ding dong the witch is dead! Look at her swinging in the breeze!
It's time to boycott Mexico and take our tourist dollars somewhere else.

The Conservative government did not come to her aid in the beginning until there was public pressure to do something.
She went to Mexico broke the law she got her trial and she was found guilty of money laundering and running a pyramid scheme and now she has to spend three more years in jail.
She said that her boss was running the scam but she was the secretary who new exactly what was going on.
Like any country including Canada when a foreign visitor breaks the law and they are caught they have to go to jail.
If she’s lucky and the Conservative party will makes a deal with the Mexican government to bring her back to Canada to serve her remainder of her time in jail because the Conservative party will try to sweep this under the rug and hope people will forget about this.
This is a perfect example of why Mexico should be avoided to travel to.
There just seems to be a vendetta on Canadians.

They had quite a bit of documentation that proved otherwise Liberalman. They'd been trying to help with the situation for quite a while.

I agree if you're guilty you do the time. My sarcasm is against the bloodlust that's running through this thread.
Boycott Corona! Down with burritos! They make you fart anyway, adding to global warming.

Has anyone seen this alleged evidence that makes her guilty?

Bzzzerrrp.... Wrong:
Brenda Martin received regular visits, calls: report
http://forums.canadiancontent.net/ne...ar-visits.html
Secretary? I thought she said she was the cook?
Kook more like it.
But I do hope she stays down there to serve her entire time. Although from what I seen on how they treat her, it might as well be a resort..... perhaps she should be thrown in our prisons afterall.
Remember, if you're afraid of dropping the soap, kill two birds with one stone and just "hide it."
I know I know, I'm a jerk.

Au contraire....walk into any beer store in the country and Corona is front and center on the shelves.
Somehow I don't see Canada as a Corona drinking nation.

Funniest thing about Corona is that somehow idiots with more money than brains have been tricked into thinking it's SO good it's worth like 4 bucks a bottle, and it's light-struck GARBAGE
I HATE corona so I will continue not drinking it either, but since it's what "trendy" folks drink it will continue selling well

Brenda is winging her way home.
There is a gallows being set up on Parliament Hill and she will be promptly executed upon her arrival....no....sorry....that was a nightmare I had last night....my mistake.
She will be soundly thrashed on chat lines and talk shows across the country for the remainder of her life.....there that's better.

Good.
