Seems that her job with Roswell was legal as he had done all the paperwork for her to come work for him.<br /><br />On one hand, Gordo might have left a legal, better paying and better working conditions job, for the hope of improved chances at getting immigrant status sooner because Dhalla is an MP. On the other hand, Alvarez herself, also interested in residency status, was leaving the Dhallas at the same time she was bringing Gordo in. There certainly seems to be some information missing here.chhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08438801985270313684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-20803170259306271352009-05-27T08:27:44.402-04:002009-05-27T08:27:44.402-04:00"Liberals decry that this story is largely being d..."Liberals decry that this story is largely being decided in public ." <br /><br />Well that's mainly because the Conservatives prefer guilty until proven innocent and trial by media.

But with three nannies and two professionals all saying the same thing about you, that is nigh impossible.<br /><br />Liberals decry that this story is largely being decided in public . But why? The nannies, being foreigners, were likely terrified of filing formal complaints. And as foreigners, their complaints would likely have received little attention as events demonstrated.<br /><br />Even when two Liberal cabinet ministers heard *directly* from the nannies, the best response they could muster for Ms. Dhalla's two former nannies was to give them a pamphlet and a 1-800 number.<br /><br />How sad for the nannies.Gerrard787https://www.blogger.com/profile/14313108762970361402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-12418544243500820642009-05-27T07:05:05.766-04:002009-05-27T07:05:05.766-04:00Well, yes the subcommittee would have finalised th...Well, yes the subcommittee would have finalised the list with agreement from all parties, but someone on that subcommittee put his/her name forward.<br /><br />I just couldn't remember if it was mentioned which party put the name out.<br /><br />Dykstra was gunning for Dhalla and Ignatieff during that meeting. <br /><br />I know!
