ok, my booboo. My point still stands. Guilt is rarely decided and even more rarely is anything done about it.
Ruby Dhalla

This isn't about whether she is guilty or not. It is about the hypocrisy of Liberal supporters. While some of those on the left can't or won't admit it, had Ruby been a Conservative, they would be crucifying her. We are making fun of Liberal Party supporters...after all, they treat immigrants like crap and need to be made fun of.
If you doubt what I say, just look at Liberal Man's post then ask yourself why most of the Liberals have not commented on this.
He wasn't an elected official. He took the money after he left office.
Brian Mulroney : The Unauthorized Chapter - Timeline : the fifth estate : CBC News
Maybe, like those you criticize, you should get your facts straight before you comment on the guilt or innocence of people N'K.
Glad to:
Brian Mulroney has realized he made a "colossal mistake" in taking $300,000 in cash from German businessman Karlheinz Schreiber when the former prime minister left political office more than a decade ago and has regretted it almost ever since, his spokesman said yesterday.
Luc Lavoie told CanWest News Service that when Mr. Mulroney left politics in 1993, he had money pressures since he was "not a rich man" at the head of a young family with certain lifestyle expectations.
Mr. Lavoie also said the payments represented a $100,000-a-year retainer for Mr. Mulroney's consulting services on a couple of projects -- a military vehicle plant in Montreal and a pasta business -- which didn't need to be claimed immediately on his income taxes.
The spokesman said Mr. Mulroney accepted the first envelope of $100,000 in cash from Mr. Schreiber while still an MP for Baie Comeau, Que., about one week before an election was called. But he quickly added that the question of when Mr. Mulroney paid income taxes on the payments isn't anyone's "Goddamn business."
All of the dealing went on before Bulroney left office.
The opening post was just a lot of hearsay nonsense that Colpy is trying to use to skewer the Liberal party yet again. There may be some truth to the allegations but Colpy treats the whole thing as gospel without any proof whatsoever.
Now, I been waiting for days for someone to bring this up.
I didn't want to do it, for fear someone would think I was Liberal-bashing> (Perish the thought!)
Dear Ruby, Sweetheart of the Liberal Party of Canada, Cabinet minister, uncontested loveliest of them all, Champion of Canadian multiculturialism..........appears to be, in reality, an elitist psycho-bitch. (My heart leaps with joy!)
A sense of entitlement is, of course, part and parcel of the upper crust of the Liberal Party.......but Dear Ruby has carried it to an extreme! Immigrant ladies hired to aid her ling mother claim they were worked 16 hours a day for the paltry sum of $250 a week......ai..illegal, under Ontario law........forced to do work they had not hired on for........forced to do unpaid overtime.....illegal, under Ontario law........had their pay with held.......illegal under Ontario law, and YES! the best of the best! Had their passports seized by the winsome Ruby! A serious Federal crime!
Slavery brought to Canada! Multiculturialism and Liberal ethics at their finest! Gotta LOVE it!
And, oh, it is just the gift that gives on giving.......the Liberal gov't of Dalton Dumbass McGuinty has admitted his Labour Minister exhibited "a bit of a tin ear" when told of the situation at a Town Hall meeting.[unquote]
Absolutely none of these Allegations are proven, and all of them are denied. I assume Colpy would want proof if the allegations were against him.
In time we will all know the truth of this matter, but that won't be for a while yet.
Well, partly true....
I love the story, but hearsay? Not to me.....straight out of the Globe and Mail.......
And the Justice System has to treat Dhalla as innocent until proven guilty........I don't.
I wouldn't have it any other way, on both counts.
I will say this.....dragging her before a Parliamentary Committee is ludicrous......it's out there, let the proper agencies handle it.
Hearsay! Maybe, like those you criticize, you should get your facts straight before you comment on the guilt or innocence of people N'K. Or at the very least, don't criticize others.
Not hearsay at all. Bulroney took brown paper bags of cash home and he has admitted it. What else can anyone say? He was a sleazy bribe taker. He should be in jail.
What would be so bad about hanging a few politicians? Don't matter what party. Just draw ropes, short one gets to hang out. The rest can either smarten up or we repeat the process. And ropes are recyclable which is environmentally friendly and cost effective.
I am more liberal than the Liberal Party. I see no reason to support them, as I see them as the status quo party of Canada.
He may be guilty, but either way, it's not up to us to judge. If it is up to us, then why are we wasting money on a judicial system for? It's the principle of innocent until proven guilty. All we know so far is that it's looking mighty suspicious with the secrecy behind it. But again, as a matter of principle, that's what the courts are for.
lol At times I tend to agree with you, but I am a softie and don't like seeing family members grieving a loss.
Ah, Lord Bao, a famous judge in Chinese history, had a solution to that. He'd even order the execution of nobles if deserved, but he'd reserve a gullotine with a gradon face carved onto it, so that they could be beheaded with full honours! Even the nobles feared him.
We could do the same thing here. We would refer to them as 'your honourable member' till the end. The family would appreciate that.:lol:
This isn't a Liberal problem it's a Canadian social problem and has been going on for years. Live-in caregivers and nannies are brought in from countries like the Phillipines by well-to-do families then basically held hostage and worked far beyond the compensation. If the charges prove to be true Dhalla should do time, it doesn't matter what her position is.
This is damn close to slavery and has place in in Canada.

No criminal wrong doing has been proven in court. It is hearsay. Maybe, like those you criticize, you should get your facts straight before you comment on the guilt or innocence of people.
When my daughter decided to be a paid nanny (against my best judgement) she had the utter (but eye-opening) misfortune of getting a job as a nanny with an Iranian family.
The treatment she received there, by these "educated" Middle-Easterners resulted in my daughter - ALMOST- slapping the Iranian bitch in the face and walking out from her modern day slavery.
Ruby Dhalla and my daughter's former exploiter (employer??) are all the same: Full of themselves, with no substance.
Her next job was to enroll in nursing and graduate with honours.
Which was far more than her Iranian exploiter (employer??) ever accomplished.

My facts are straight. Mulroney has admitted to taking the money, and he took that money while he was still an elected MP. I don't care what the court says. Mulroney took bribes in brown paper bags and brought it home. He didn't declare that he owed tax on that money until the matter became public knowledge. MPs are paid very well. They don't need bribes to make ends meet.....At least most of them don't.
Good for her, YJ. I hope she has a rich and successful life. Purs is doing the same thing. Taking the ENPC for emergency peds right now. Already has her bach in health science.
Anyway, maybe it's a tendency to think you're a better class if you can afford a nanny, misconceptions about English nannies, etc. that makes people like the one in my example and the one in YJ's example treat nannies badly.

lmao Honest ones wouldn't.
Reminds me, I think if I was gov't I'd make Bullroney pay back the $50M that he got in the defamation suit he brought against Canada. The guy's as much sewer scum as Martin.
