What is the proof he offers on this allegation? His thesis rests on the fact that the allegations came to light only a year later, Dhalla is a workaholic, and the Conservative candidate in that riding tags along with a cabinet minister when the cabinet minister is in town.
Wow, now that's a truckload of evidence.
Let's compare his evidence against what has been reported, Don, if you are reading this please try and keep up.
- The story break in the Toronto Star. Yes the Toronto Star, aka the Red Star. You know, that bastion of neo-con thought, practically the only newspaper to endorse the Liberals last election.
- 3 different nannies have come forward. Yes three, not two as Don Martin had in his column.
- Ruby Dhalla only speaks through a lawyer. I find that odd, honest people don't tend to speak through lawyers to media.
- Agatha Mason, executive director of Intercede, was quoted as saying she knew of more then 2 complainants. Read more here.
- She resigned her post as critic. Again, I have to wonder why innocent people do that so quickly? Something must stink here.
I guess Ruby Dhalla will through her brother under the bus to save herself. That seems like a Liberal thing to do. She will plead ignorance, say her brother hired them, and take no blame at all on this. Despite the fact she lived there 2-3 days a week, had to have seen what was going on, and she should have known better. She will blame everyone but herself, that is the way of the Liberals.
Shame shame.

Let's face it, the CONs will do anything to get the Mulroney scandal off the front page.
Martin is a conservative from Calgary (with strong conservative credentials like Harper). Who cares about Ruby Dhalla's nanny. I want my MP to do something meaningful not spend time on this silly partisan crap.
Anon, just because Martin started his career in Calgary does not a Conservative make.
Who cares about Ruby Dhalla's nanny? I do if she was treated like a slave, that might be the Liberal way, but it sure isn't the Canadian way.
Why should the Conservatives care about Brian M?
Not the same party, and the current crop had nothing to do with it..
onthe other hand, Ruby D. is (was..) a shadow MP, a rising star and on the right hand of Iggy..suddenly she is persona non grata
You drop the Mulroney scandal into the conversation and than complain of partisan crap going on.
The Liberals are all spin all of the time and calling it a conservative plot or demeaning the foreign workers by claiming it is silly or meaningless is going nowhere fast with the public. Do you guys know how silly this spin looks to the average voter.
Just imagine for a second that a Conservative MP had treated immigrant workers like this. Can you even begin to imagine the media coverage and the outrage from liberals?!?

Yeah Anony - well you LIBs will do anything to get the good economic news and the PM's visit to Afganistan off the front pages....
See how STUPID that sounds ANony.....
I haven't been following this story except to hear audio clips on the radio which are few and far between and in answer to Anonymous the only politician I have heard dumping on Dhalla is from the NDP.
I have heard almost nothing about the Oliphant Commission, unless it was coming from the Liberal propaganda machine....aka....CBC.
Okay. I give up. Ruby Dhalla's nanny is the most pressing issue in Canada. It deserves far more airtime than the economy, Afghanistan etc. ha ha ha
You partisan wankers have my pity.
Stop bellyaching about the media. It's pathetic.
Isn't it odd that Don Martin used to for some period of time support the Conservatives. One has to wonder what type of koolaid he's drinking these days.
