Bumped …..Update: this just came across the Canadian Press wire. (No link yet).
“Dhalla issued her own brief statement in response:
“I appreciate Ms. Villanueva’s clarification; however she is not speaking on behalf of all the Brampton Filipino Seniors Club. Many members of the Filipino Seniors Club and community have expressed their support in letters, phone calls and emails.”
Where SDA leads, the mainstream is sure to follow!

May 7: Filipino Seniors in Support of Dhalla
Maybe not.
To whom it concern:
My name is Aurora G. Villanueva, a member of the Brampton Filipino Seniors Club.
I wanted to clarify my position in relation to the statement made by Ms Dhalla during the inquiry. The letter she presented in the inquiry that was signed by me, but not written by me.. It was prepared by the office of Ms Dhalla.

To whom it concern:
My name is Aurora G. Villanueva, a member of the Brampton Filipino Seniors Club.
I wanted to clarify my position in relation to the statement made by Ms Dhalla during the inquiry. The letter she presented in the inquiry that was signed by me, but not written by me.. It was prepared by the office of Ms Dhalla.
I signed that letter to indicate my support for her as a friend. I was not at this point representing or speaking for the Brampton Filipino Seniors Club. This club is non-political and we are not affiliated in any political party. It has certainly not taken a position in this matter as the facts are still in question.
I clearly stated to Ms Dhalla’s representative that I am no longer the president and my current position among other past presidents is an advisor, whose sole function is for internal affairs only. That, I have no authority to represent or speak for the club. That what I can do for her is just a friendly gesture.
I never used the name of the club in signing my name. Therefore, I must be understood that I did it in my own way to help a friend. Besides, the letter was well written and there seem nothing is unpleasant for me to extend a little help.
However, when I signed the letter, I was unaware of the seriousness of the allegations of abuse. I was feeling sick at that time and was not properly informed. I was misled by not being provided with sufficient information to make an appropriate decision.
I wish to retract that letter. The implication that I personally, or the club has taken Ms Dhalla’s side is totally false. I hereby request that Ms Dhalla stop claiming that she has the support of the Brampton Filipino Seniors Club and me. Both claims are false and should not be used in her defence in this inquiry.
Thank you very much.

Apparently your friend didn’t have their HDIG scorecard(historically disadvantaged identifiable groups) with her. By my count Ruby is the victim here; she’s a visible minority, a woman, and her lifestyle choices are being assailed. If you’re looking for a Whiteman to blame, blame them all. Blame them for creating a society that is insensitive to the desires of those(who are not white) that wish to enslave foreign women. I’ve actually heard somewhere that some people are born that way, so it would be unjust to expect them to take responsibility for their actions.
Dear Kelly, Dhalla was referred to as a ‘broad’ and ‘import’.
“I’ve actually heard somewhere that some people are born that way, so it would be unjust to expect them to take responsibility for their actions.”
If that doesn’t cut it, she could also use the time honoured argument made by millions of women that she’s “accustom to such a life style”. That should cover it.
Yes, Richard, I am a racist bigot. I come across as racist more and more, the longer I live in Canada, where I came as an immigrant 9 years ago.
While installing the signs last federal election, I was asked quite a few times by the immigrants (mostly from Asia) if the CPC candidate was white, and heard a sigh of relief when they learned that he was. Some of them went lengths about how sick they are of the perspective of having an Indian MP in the riding.
Not everything in Canada is my fault, you know.
“Oh you crazy SDAers. You just can’t help yourselves can you? You can’t even keep comments like these in check while pretending to be outraged by the abuse of immigrant workers…”
This is so idiotic, who can resist tossing a shoe at it?
Actually, I am not pretending to be outraged by the abuse of immigrant workers. It is standard procedure when newcomers show up with no skills and little or no language ability. What did they expect? (other than to be elected to parliament)
Most of our ancestors came here and did the crappy jobs for little money while being treated somewhat badly. The beauty of a FREE society is that you have upward mobility, but you have to work hard for it. Maybe take a little abuse along the way. That used to be called building character.
A lot of us born-here Canadians go through horrid times when first entering the work force unless we happen to have demand skills and an ability to communicate.
Immigration comes with great sacrifice that may only pay off in the second generation when their kids who are more assimilated into the larger society and are better equipped to go and make their own life. Aaaaand unless they are part of the religion of peace, they probably will have networked and made a lot friends and connections while growing up and going to school.
It’s not as though Ruby was water-boarding them is it?
This is shaping up to be more of a cat fight based on envy than anything else.
Adam wrote, “And yes, we need to keep Dhalla’s feet to the fire on this – she entirely deserves this (unwelcome on her part) attention. But her ethnic background has nothing to do with this.”
I agree with the first part of this statement, but not the second: WHERE has Adam been since multiculturalism and diversity became the new religions of this country? (In fact, the new, and unimproved, religion of all the post-Christian Western world?)
Ruby’s a “visible minority” Canadian. Therefore, all along the way, she’s been given all kinds of leeway and is “entitled to her entitlements”. Notice her shock—yes, shock!—at being expected to be held accountable for her possibly less than sterling actions.
I’ve been in the Canadian school system for nearly four decades. It used to be that all students were held to high behavioural standards: there were serious—unpleasant—consequences for infractions. Now? We’re drowning in behaviour codes, but there are virtually no consequences, ESPECIALLY for visible minorities—and the worst of them play this game for all it’s worth. Ruby’s a Liberal: her party—Trudeau, 1982 Charter—invented the double standard.
Thanks to the Liberals and liberals, who have run this country into the ground, by their own rules, not because of so-called conservative bigotry, race has a whole lot to do with this.
I don’t expect much from the MSM. While they were on Mulroney I asked the question where did Chretien get a 25 million dollar trust fund? I have a pretty good idea where it came from but they didn’t seem to want to look at it. I remember when he was limiting contributions to the parties he said there are no limits on my trust fund. Liberals don’t lie, they ‘mis-speak.’
Requiem for Liberal Dhalla Nanny Iggy: Ruby’s Mine.
Ruby…
My little Nanny.
The sun shines east– the sun shines west–
I know where– the sun shines best!
It’s on my Nanny Ruby I’m talkin’ about, nobody else’s!
(H/T Al Jolson)
Hello Birdy, if the allegations are true these women were pretty much the Dhalla family house slaves. I wouldn’t be inclined to focus on the character building aspects of that.
NP has the story up, add your comments or I shall be there by myself alone all alone with her. I don’t like to eat on the floor like a dog or a slave.
Rose… sorry… who?
“Hello Birdy, if the allegations are true these women were pretty much the Dhalla family house slaves. I wouldn’t be inclined to focus on the character building aspects of that.”
Thankfully, somehow, they managed to escape the plantation. No doubt the whip welts will eventually go away.
I have some advise for any other possible house slaves in Canada. Think Paul Simon and
Just slip out the back, Jack, make a new plan, Stan Don’t need to be coy, Roy, just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus, don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee, and get yourself free
I am not defending I Ruby, but she actually is innocent until da proof is da proof.
Again, I think this based on envy and it’s a cat fight.
But you can’t hop on a plane, Wayne, if powerful MP Ruby Dhalla has a grudge against you along with your passport.
And really, cat fight? If they were guys would it be a whole different thing?
Cat fight???? I want to meet your dealer,he’s obviously got the best.
Aaron writes: “The assumption that Canada could successfully import whoever from abroad and instantly elect them into legislature was wrong, wasn’t it?
Is everyone comfortable being ruled by the 3d world slave traders and document forgers?”
Is this the same European Aaron that likes wheezy little 1100cc engines in his cars? You’re a dork, dude.
Crooked behavior and beating up the nanny is a Liberal thing, not Sikh thing. If the allegations are true, I’d say she’s acculturated to Liberal white bread Toronto perfectly.
“But you can’t hop on a plane, Wayne, if powerful MP Ruby Dhalla has a grudge against you along with your passport.”
All right, just for fun Mr. Mambo, In Canada, you do NOT need a passport especially if you are not white.
You can be an instant refugee just for the asking, but remember don’t show them any ID whatsoever … Just make up a story of persecution and they will take your word for it.
Now that gig pays about $2600. a month with a host of great benefits that includes all medical, dental and even a freaking bus pass.
Who needs to be a nanny?
Now, if you are a retiring standard Bb white Canadian who worked and paid taxes all your life, but not for the government, you will qualify for less than half of what a lying refugee can get sans the bus pass.
You see Mr. Mambo, I really don’t give much of shit about the slave-owning Liberals and their oh-so mistreated Nannies. They are all a creation of Pierre’s great Mosaic. It is the epitome of the political correct sickness that grips our climate-change-terrorized citizenry …
It’s all fluff! It’s not important and there is not much we can do about people like I, Ruby actually being a member of parliament either.
If you can handle one more point Mr. Mambo, It’s this … Under our promotion of ethnic minorities forming enormous ghettos in our major cities, the intent of our democratic system is warped by vote stacking within a minority group’s political region … where they are the MAJORITY.
We have such bigger fish to fry than salivating over the to and fro of these Liberals and their whining servants that I see this entire issue as an opportunity for some comic relief.
What is it with documents and the Lieberal Party??
Verbal reports, at inflated prices.. no documentation? Judy Scroat signs for strippers to work for her connected “made man” friends, Cretien signs a bill of sale, for his hotel…… on a napkin. A former Solicitor General, signs a sluts husbands name …so she can get an abortion..
These people have a way with paperwork that, well just boggles the mind!!
And now we have Ruby’s “endorsement letter” which, like anything a LIEBERAL touches, does not pass the smell test!
KEEP her around. PRIME MINISTER Steven Harper can always use this kind of help!!!
Makes an average Canadian’s day!!
Unless that Canadian is a CBC fan…LOL.
Ruby Dhalla. Now abusing seniors.
In Canada. We did not make this up.
Choose your Canada.
I give points to the Senior just for gumption to stand up to this parade of disorderly liars.
As usual Kate, a witty headline. Still laughing.

LIBERAL MP DHALLA LIES NEVER ENDS. SHE’S A REAL MANIPULATOR. ME…ME…AND ME FIRST, IS HER ATTITUDE. THE MAIN ISSUE OF THE ALLEGATION WAS SHE EMPLOYED THE TWO CAREGIVERS WITHOUT LMO, AND THAT’S BREAKING THE LAW. SHE WANTS TO MISLED THE CANADIANS BY DENYING AND DENYING. TO FILIPINO COMMUNITY-THINK TWICE BEFORE VOTING THE LIBERALS ON NEXT ELECTION….
