Bahrain has requested an Ethics Commissioner look into troubling allegations of slavery … developing….
Intensely and excruciatingly related: He’s no Tommy Wynette! – “Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff did not speak to reporters again Thursday and has not taken questions since the accusations surfaced.”
Repeat after me, tattered Liberals – Leadership!
The Romans had the Circus. We have Parliment. Both are blood sports.
I guess we’re going to have to start calling Stornoway Stowaway: a great place to hide for Librano leader$ in the midst of a crisis.
Batb, something I’ve noticed as well, my solution is that if you post a comment and it’s not showing, just hit F5 (refresh) on that same thread and most often it appears. If you get the ‘hold’ (usually if a link is posted) feature it does take a few mins. And once in a while, not at all.
Thanks, Idd. I’ll try the F5 button when my post doesn’t show to see what happens! My comments are seldom held for comment, they just don’t show.
Momar. Try not to speak.
Ted, were you hoping nobody would read the Chris Rands link? A committee exmaining the issues of migrant workers is only policy oriented? Even if that is true, there is relevance here. Dhalla, for her part, is trying to deke out the committee by throwing herself on the mercy of the Ethics Commissioner, no doubt in the full knowledge her conduct in this matter is not within the purview of the commissioner’s investigative powers.
Hmm, Ted, sounds like the Gomery inquiry, which was pre-determined to disallow findings of personal misconduct.
Different time, same old shell game.
Ted, I do agree, however, this is a tempest in a teapot. It’s probably payback too. Like someone said above, politics is a blood sport.
You just don’t like being on the receiving end. I can sympathize with you on that.
Ted:
Bringing this before the ethics committee will only bring that committee into disrepute.
The issue isn’t what any MP did in the HoC, its whether someone is guilty of abusing people that where in their employment, and worse still, that where working illegally in Canada at that time.
Get that last part Ted?
Illegal immigrants.
People that jumped the que.
And worse, those that knew they jumped ahead of the immigrants that observe the laws of this country, used it to blackmail them.
Doesn’t that fit the description of a conspiracy?
Now I guess the question that could be asked at the committee that might do some good is…did Ruby know these “nannies” where illegals?
