Speaking of hubris, the Globe went so far as to say anyone readonable would agree with them that ordinary fundraisers that all the parties do violates the Liberals guideline of not giving the appearance of conflictt of interest. In other words, dismissing (on what authority?) any other point of view on this matter.
I beg to differ. Renaming a fundraiser as cash for access does not a scandal make.
As people who received an invitation to a fundraiser with Trudeau.  explained when contacted by the media: they refused to buy a ticket because there is no opportunity for influence at these events.
I disliked Harper and his cabinet members, but I would never accuse them of giving special favours in exchange for a $1,500 a plate fundraiser. That would be is absurd.
To put this faux scandal in perspective, the Trump boys plan for a fundraiser that raised eyebrows wanted upwards of $1M a ticket.
