Renogate!!!

OTTAWA—A consultant hired by the federal government to smooth out disagreements in a controversial Parliament Hill renovation donated money to attend a Conservative fundraiser, The Canadian Press has learned.

I'm betting that Paradis is eventually forced to step down, and Chris Selley steals my headline tomorrow without giving me credit.

  1. Mon Dieu! Can we please put a moratorium on using '____gate' to title every scandal?

    That said, this is beginning to smell somewhat like the sponsorship scandal.

    TofK,

    We might try, but we would fail. Therefore roll with it.

    Wishful thinking.

    Speaking of which, is the sponsorship scandal the only scandal with no name that ends in 'gate'. I vaguely recall sponsorgate but that never really caught on, it was more just 'adscam'.

    Why because no CPC MPs are directly involved? I have news for you, no Liberal MPs were involved in Adscam either.

    Oh, and here's a new one...

    More Public Works contracts questioned

    "An aerospace company received two multimillion-dollar contracts from the federal government after one of its executives donated to the Conservatives, The Canadian Press has learned."

    That's half-way to adscam right there.
