Please Note Sarcasm Is On!!!
Via Joanne's blog, it appears that NannyGate just got a whole lot more interesting with this story, http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/05/15/dhalla-neil-complaint.html concerning more allegations (unproven), against Neil Dhalla. While this story does not involve the nannies it does play into the same kind of strategy Dhalla's lawyer is using to try and discredit anyone who speaks out against Dhalla or her family, showing someone who might not be the nicest guy to work for.
And with the long weekend now upon us, I thought I would give Don Martin some well-deserved time off and write his next column for him. It goes like this:
At a time when Canadians are worried about their jobs, under-funded pension plans, and the utter disrespect this governing party has shown for the Tamil Tigers, leave it to the Conservative Party under Stephen Harper to put Canadian politics even further into the gutter. I allude to the unsubstantiated, untrue, and unproven allegations against Ruby Dhalla. The fact the Conservatives see fit to put so much effort into disparaging a young, vivacious, ethnic, female, supporter of immigrant rights, who has led the fight for proper treatment of live-in caregivers makes this latest episode all the more disgusting. It is through cuts to funding that the governing party has brought our our national broadcaster to it's knees, forcing it to run stories like this before ever getting the chance for the increased funding it deserves.
"New allegations against the family of Brampton Liberal MP Ruby Dhalla have come to light, CBC News learned on Friday. A woman has complained to the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal that she was fired from a clerical job by Dhalla's brother, Neil Dhalla, because she was pregnant.
The claim came as the Dhallas continue to deal with allegations they mistreated nannies employed by the family."
The fact the Conservative party, and Jason Kenney have tried to destroy young, vivacious, ethnic, female, supporter of immigrant rights, who has led the fight for proper treatment of live-in caregivers Ruby Dhalla shows just how desperate Stephen Harper is to keep his job. I'm told from someone with knowledge that Jason Kenney and Parm Gill had a women impregnated two months after she began working for Neil Dhalla. When she was seven months along she was instructed to begin making clerical mistakes, forcing Neil to fire her. The idea was that two weeks after the first Dhalla smears hit the media, this would further damage both Neil And Ruby's careers, causing irreparable harm.
What kind of disdain must Canadians be feeling for a Prime Minister so bereft of ethics he would exploit the womb of a young women for political gain? Never has Michael Ignatieff been accused of using these tactics, either in Canada or abroad.
Nah, too many words for a Martin piece. Maybe Gloria Galloway?
ReplyDeleteWe need to keep showing Martin (is he a Paul Martin relative?) for the juvenile Conservative hater that he really is.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately your version of Martin's next Liberal loving column is probably pretty accurate.
I wonder if the National Post is starting to feel the pain yet?
"Nah, too many words for a Martin piece. Maybe Gloria Galloway?"
ReplyDeleteTo many big words for a Galloway column.
Maybe Martin's friend Greg Weston will write this time. They both appear to be competing for Don Newman's job at the CBC.
ReplyDeleteThe sooner Don Martin actually write this article, the sooner I will believe he still has a chance at redemption.
ReplyDeleteI will not hold my breath as I can only do it under water for 40 seconds, above, well much less than that.
I am so disgusted that he was actually an adored, Calgary Herald writer. So disgusted and so embarrassed. Sorry Canada, we sent him into the great abyss known as the ppg and he drank the kool aid or wine or beer?? Who knows!
What a mess!
"They both appear to be competing for Don Newman's job at the CBC."
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting Fay. I never even thought of that.
Bec, I think Martin is past the point of redemption. His column's get worse by the day.
