Ruby Dalla is the new Belinda Stronach except way more corrupt. Its fitting she' the MP in that town - a corrupt MP for a corrupt riding.
She should be forced to resign, outright. From there she could be hired for a job she's more qualified for - cleaning houses.
May 7, 2009 / 11:43
If the accusations are true Ruby should have more than the book thrown at her.
Imagine if it had been some old school white guy who did this the Star would be giving this even more space.
As for the Ontario Ministers who didn't go after Dhalla. Should the nannies file complaints through the proper channels? If they did and the ministers ignored/suppressed the complaint they need to be looked at too.
It doesn't really matter though Fred the Conservatives will get in next election in Ontario due to Dalton's brialliant idea for the HST.
Big mistake on the Liberals part. Dalton here's an idea lower the PST to 5% if you want to harmonize it with the GST.
May 7, 2009 / 11:55
Not only did the Toronto Star acknowledge the story, they broke the story. 'Guess the only thing the Star likes better than a female immigrant success story is a female immigrant abuse story.
May 7, 2009 / 12:04
I'm waiting for the "this is how it's done in the old country" defense.
Where the class system is alive and well.
Where the ruling class gets to treat those in the lower classes like crap.
These nannies obviously don't know their place and should be punished accordingly.
May 7, 2009 / 12:34
" doesn't really matter though Fred the Conservatives will get in next election in Ontario due to Dalton's brialliant idea for the HST."
It is a Federal Conservative plan that the Ontario Liberals are doing. Harper wants the HST. Don't forget that.
Everything isn't Anti-Conservative Fred. A Liberal does something wrong and somehow it is Anti-Conservative. I don't get it.
May 7, 2009 / 12:41
Isn't it funny how every time there is a scandal, tax hike or something like that, a Liberal is involved?
Why do people vote Liberal anyway? You do realize that every time a Liberal gets elected, expect a scandal or a tax increase somewhere or both, so why bother? Do we have that many people in Canada that have Alzheimers?
May 7, 2009 / 13:28
Excellent point Nigel. We shrugged off the British class system of our colonial forefathers. Now, because of multiculturism, it is alive and well....
Ruby Dhalla, her brother and mother sound like a family of entitled tyrants to me.
Can you imagine if this story had never broken and she continued her rise in the Liberal party???
May 7, 2009 / 14:16
I'm surprised she hasn't thrown one of her executive assistants under the bus! How does a woman like her have the time or the inclination to look after her own family? Thus the appalling behaviour of the liberal party continues: In recent years we've witnessed Sopranos-like cash transactions, sponsorship scandals, treasonous deal-making, anti-american b*tches, and now this disturbing story from the party that caters far too much to immigrants. It's a disgrace.
May 7, 2009 / 15:01
Ruby Dhalla, just another sleazy whats in it for me Liberal a la Iggy, Stronach, Rae. Anybody who associates with these bottom feeding sewer dwellers ends up covered in crap.
May 7, 2009 / 15:39
The die is cast. The nanny's claims must have been pretty convincing if the two MPPs chose not to follow them up. All in all it's not looking too good for Dhalla (affectionately known as "Ruby" at the Toronto Star). Who resigns when they're innocent? And those MPPs should definitely resign.
May 7, 2009 / 16:14
A person claiming Ruby would "help" her stay in Canada has come forward. That makes 3 people accusing Dhalla of mistreatment.
Dhalla is done. Iggy will be jettisoning her soon.
Very sad if these accusations are true.

Doesn't look good for Ruby, her star probably rose too quickly for some Liberals, always at the front of a photo op.
Not many Liberals (none that I've heard) coming to her defence. I wonder if she had promised citizenship through the back door with her influence, for these nannies, in trade for working in slave like conditions?
May 7, 2009 / 20:25
Typical liberal 'morality;' "Do As I Say, NOT As I Do."
What was Dhalla trying to do? Run Pankot Palace the way it was run in "Indiana Jones & The Temple Of Doom?!"
Let's see; the gun registry, Sponsor-gate, enforced state multi-CULT-uralism... the scams just keep on coming.
May 7, 2009 / 21:29
Too busy creating jobs?
WTF?
Conservatives dumped the GST on us.
The Conservatives gave us Free Trade which saw thousands of jobs shipped to Mexico.
The Conservatives would have had us neck deep in Iraq, killing thousands of our soldiers.
Gimme a break on this Conservative cares crap!
May 7, 2009 / 21:32
The Conservatives fight against amending EU.
The Conservatives opposed raising minimum wage.
The Conservatives (at least in Ontario) took off rent controls, giving rise to the all-mighty 1000 for a single bedroom slumlords.
The Conseratives weren't going to lower the flag on Parliament for the dead soldiers.
Should I go on?
May 7, 2009 / 21:38
PS
How's Brian Mulroney's case going?
Thank god the liberal Toronto Star broke the Ruby Dalla story, since The Toronto Sun (Canada's equivalent to Fox News) is too busy spouting right wing 'blamne the liberals for everything' propaganda to do any actual reporting.
Lest I remind everyone that the majority of Canada voted center-left, not center right.
May 8, 2009 / 00:15
To quote Toddy... "Lest I remind everyone that the majority of Canada voted center-left, not center right."
That may be true, according to such 'bastions of balance" like the toronto star.
If so; that's why Canada is NO LONGER the glorious country it used to be.
Now, it's a mish-mash of "Oh, let's accept everything EXCEPT the principles this country was founded upon."
Principles such as PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, Judeo-Christrian values, hard work, one man marrying one woman, law and order, you do the crime, you do the time, etc.
The Maoist-Trudeau liberals cut immigration back in the 60s from the traditional western-eastern European sources, while opening the flood-gates to those that would actively support socialist-commie bullshit.
Thanks to those imported votes the liberals CON-cocted, those imported votes tend to vote... (you get one guess)... LIB-LOONEY LEFT.)
It's about time the right took back our country.
May 8, 2009 / 07:40
She may be a Liberal, but she acts like a Conservative.
May 8, 2009 / 08:08
Now Ruby can be clicking her slippers back in the movie biz.
Oh I forgot. She said she did not give consent to have her mug released in the Bollywood classic movie she starred in. I think the name of the movie was --- Slum Dog Slavery----
May 8, 2009 / 08:57
Todd wants the country to look after him. Be his big daddy.
May 8, 2009 / 10:19
Can anyone explain the difference between the current Conservative party or the Current Liberals? They are both slightly right of centre parties who are both too guileless and career orientated to actually care about the state of our country and its economy, desperate to find the middle ground that they think will win then the next election. Both parties and both leaders are pathetic. The majority of people who post on this site seem to see themselves as under some kind of threat from thoses who do not share their "values" (whatever they are).
May 8, 2009 / 10:22
Todd needs to take off his pink tinted Liberal glasses and look at all the crap that his party gave us.
May 8, 2009 / 12:01
Who cares what she did! She has great tits!
May 8, 2009 / 12:12
I am not a fan of the Conservatives, however, opposing a raise to Minimum wage isn't a bad thing. $10 mimium wage only hurts the economy.
The Liberals aren't the perfect party either. Why people so blindly follow a party due its name is beyond me.
Can Ruby and throw her in jail if the allegations are true.
May 8, 2009 / 21:56
What's really weird here is how Dhalla's defenders and her lawyer have gone completely nuclear on some Fillipina caregivers.
This is the Liberal core constituency...urban women. Especially the non-white, exploited women.
They're liars. They're part of Hillary Clinton's "vast right wing conspiracy". They're...they're brown and unreliable. Thank god the Toronto Star has been hacking at this story with a hatchet. That makes it as reliable as it can be.
Dhalla's non-performance at today's Howard Levitt-orchestrated news conference spoke words about the MP. Throwing her family under the bus really didn't help.
And after three days in exile she shows up and tries to draw from her Bollywood acting experience. I thought she was going to weep.
She's done.
May 8, 2009 / 23:14
Goodbye Rudy Dhalla
Exploiting the nannies was a mistake by you
When you took their passport away
The Liberals won't miss you
With apologies to Keith and Brian.
May 9, 2009 / 01:58
What a joke this post is. Sorry Fred, you're now the Sean Hannity of Canada. Why don't you tell me all about your liberty tree too?
Does anyone have anything intelligent to say about this story, instead of using it as an excuse to say how poorly conservatives are treated, or how satanic liberals are? Please, someone?
May 9, 2009 / 10:52
OK Mikey.. then set us straight, explain the story the way it should be told.
May 9, 2009 / 11:14
My pleasure. Dhalla is accused of some crimes, and if they're true she'll never work in politics again and should probably spend some time in jail. Also, the Ontario Minister of Labour needs to be canned if he really did ignore the information from Dhalla's accusers.
However, I'm certain that there's evidence in this case that isn't available in the media, and I seriously doubt anyone here has access to it. The evidence will decide the case, not a socialist conspiracy.
Using this situation to try and drum up sympathy for some perceived mistreatment of conservatives is really intellectually lacking. Just because you say something, or think it, doesn't make it true.
May 9, 2009 / 12:56
I'm impressed, Mikey. You're so much smarter than us, you must be a lawyer. Evidence #1 - nannies who had everything to lose by speaking up and yet they still came forward. Evidence #2 - Ms. Dhalla resigned from her role as critic. Evidence #3 - Ms Dhalla claimed she had no knowledge of the situation and was not involved in the hiring - hard to believe when the caregiver was for her own mother!!!
May 9, 2009 / 13:48
Sorry Trish, I didn't realize every fact of this case is public knowledge already. Probably a worldwide (possibly universe-wide?) conspiracy against the Conservative Party of Canada to keep evidence hidden; you should really bring what you know to the papers.
Let's take a look at your points:
1) What exactly did they have to lose? They're all working for other families now, and besides the Dhalla family who is going to hold their going public against them?
2) Dhalla resigned her critic's post because she's involved in an ongoing criminal investigation. Extremely common amongst both the guilty and the innocent. This is evidence of nothing but your willingness to jump to conclusions.
3) Is it hard to believe that one of Ruby's siblings could have been handling this? Now most likely Ruby was involved on some level, but so far the socialist are doing a pretty good job of keeping that under wraps.
May 9, 2009 / 14:02
Mikey, you display exactly what Freddie was talking about originally. You're going to the outer limits to find excuses for this woman but based on your history on this blog you'd be singing a different tune if Dhalla was a conservative.
May 9, 2009 / 14:13
It's not excuses, it's waiting for all the facts to be known. It's the same thing I want to happen in the Mulroney-Airbus affair.
Does anyone here care what the truth is, or would you rather just continue to speculate because it's easier?
May 9, 2009 / 16:39
The class system or as we in Canada see it entitlement via riches is everywhere.
Let get over nannygate and on to important issues like unemployment, jobs being lost to foreign counties and who will the Leafs draft in June?
I hope the Conservatives go after this Ruby Dhalla thing like a fat kid on a Smartie. This will be a lesson for us all.
