While staying at one of the bed and breakfast rooms and then going for breakfast, we noticed that there were several rooms available for B&B. We also noticed a lack of staffing. During the meal, a handy capped individual came out and said she had been working long hours into the night and was not being payed to clean rooms and make breakfast each day.

She then mentioned that there had been a wedding earlier on where she worked for days on end and even suffered from arm problems from sanding iron tables, with no protection from the rust nor paint being sanded off.

We were horrified at such a prospect of handy capped people being used for personal gain.

When asking the owner about this, she laughed it off and said it gave them something to do. I know slavery in the US is forbidden, but one would hope that Canada did not embrace it as a method of getting ahead.

I am the owner of www.ButlersChoice.info and other ButlersChoice urls. My friends in South Africa own a B & B and are ButlersChoice.co.za This old report is causing trouble and anxiety to people not even in the USA. Please be more specific in headlines before allowing them on the web & preferably ensure that it is deleted once the case is resolved.

Negative comments should be kept between the two individuals concerned and not publicised in this way. You are forgetting the innocent traders that are being hit by these comments. Kindly remove this case from the web very few will actually read the details or approach you to find out what is happening

Thank you
