Ah, that is the ticket, eh?
TSN reported last night that Stephen Harper has appointed the single biggest donor from his 2004 Conservative party leadership campaign to a $132,000 a year Senate seat.
Sports tycoon David Braley is the latest Tory partisan punted into Parliament's upper chamber. He has given 99 K to the Tories over the last half dozen years and is being rewarded with tax credits and a job that pays over double what he invested.
The businessman from Hamilton, Ontario, owns two of the eight CFL clubs: the B.C. Lions and the Toronto Argonauts. He replaces Conservative senator St. Wilbert of Keon, who reached the mandatory Senate retirement age of 75 just days ago and can now return to his passion for cruising crack neighbourhoods of our Nation's Capital.
