Scheer ditches Morneau Shepell sponsorship for Toronto speech


READ MORE


An ungainly and ephemeral fondness came to an abrupt finish on Tuesday, when Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer ditched grant adminstration hulk Morneau Shepell as a co-sponsor of an arriving debate in Toronto.


For weeks, Scheer and his MPs have been giving copiousness of free, if substantially unwelcome, attention to Morneau Shepell in a House of Commons, as they hammered Finance Minister Bill Morneau for maintaining roughly a million shares in a business, that was started by Morneau’s father. 


So it stirred giggles on amicable media when an email went out Tuesday morning announcing that Scheer’s speech on Nov. 30 for a Canadian Club of Toronto, entitled “A Prosperity for Hardworking Canadians,” would be co-sponsored by Morneau Shepell.

On Monday, Deputy Opposition Whip John Brassard noted that — while a financial apportion has concluded to sell his shares and present a millions in increase to gift — the sovereign Ethics Commissioner was still deliberation either to launch a grave review into either Morneau had a dispute of seductiveness in sponsoring grant legislation while still owning shares in his family’s business. 


  • Morneau Shepell defends a exchange with Ottawa amid minister’s controversy

  • Bill Morneau promises share increase to charity, as watchdog considers new investigation

“How could a apportion misuse Canadians like this for his possess financial benefit and that of his family business?” Brassard asked in a House.


Quick change


Just a few hours after the email went out announcing a speech, Morneau Shepell’s name had left from a event website. 


It seems the email went out but initial being privileged by Scheer’s office. 


When Scheer’s team listened about a ungainly pairing, it asked for Morneau Shepell’s sponsorship to be pulled.


  • Morneau should present shares to gift instead of offered them first: experts

  • Bill Morneau tries to deprive himself of a controversy: Aaron Wherry

“We believe, given a stream context, it would be inapt for a personality to attend an eventuality sponsored by that sold firm,” said Scheer spokesman Jake Enwright.


As for how a dual became such ungainly bedfellows in a initial place, a Morneau Shepell spokeswoman explained that a association frequently sponsors Canadian Club events when inaugurated officials speak.


“This arrangement predates any of a issues now being discussed in a media,” said Cathren Ronberg, executive of corporate communications, in an email

Canadian expected to be aboard Russia's 1st manned space mission since rocket failure

READ MORE The first manned mission to the International Space Station since a Russian rocket failed to launch successfully earlier this month may take off on Dec. 3, space agency Roscosmos said on Wednesday. And the crew is expected to include Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques, Agence France-Press reported. A Russian cosmonaut and U.S. astronaut were forced to abort their mission on Oct. 11 and perform an emergency landing after a launch accident that Roscomos said was caused by a faulty sensor. The accident was the first serious launch problem experienced by a manned Soyuz space mission since 1983, when a crew narrowly escaped before a launch pad explosion. Sergei Krikalyov, a senior Roscosmos official, was quoted by state news agency Tass as saying the next manned launch had been planned for mid-December, but that Russia was trying to bring the date forward so that the ISS is not briefly left without a crew. “The industry is making significant efforts to move the launch t...

Getting the dope on pot stocks is becoming easier as media groups invest in content: Don Pittis

READ MORE “What’s the buzz? Tell me what’s happening,” goes the ’70s rock anthem. Part of the catchiness of the lyric — from the rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar  — was that in that era the term “buzz” had developed a second spicy meaning. It described the high that people got from smoking cannabis. In the 1970s, the magazine High Times was a brand new title keeping an eye on the illegal but growing business of marijuana pricing and sales. It ran centrefolds of glistening pot plants and of an apartment filled to the windows with what the magazine insisted was an entire ton of cannabis. Now some of Canada’s most staid media voices are looking for ways to go toe to toe with High Times and its U.S. competitors, hoping to profit from Canada’s global head start in legal recreational cannabis. But when it comes to making a killing from spreading the buzz on the cannabis biz, to q...

READ MORE A Toronto man accused of conspiring with the head of Marvel Entertainment in a bizarre hate mail campaign against his wealthy former employer has denied any role in the alleged scheme. David Smith, along with Marvel CEO Isaac (Ike) Perlmutter, is the target of a slander lawsuit launched earlier this year by Canadian businessman Harold Peerenboom. Now Smith — a former employee of Peerenboom’s Toronto-based executive search firm, Mandrake Management — has filed a motion to dismiss the U.S. civil suit. It’s the latest development in the years-long legal battle between Peerenboom and Perlmutter, a notoriously reclusive American billionaire and personal friend of U.S. President Donald Trump. The hate mail campaign, which ran   between 2012 to 2015, saw anonymous letters falsely accusing Peerenboom of being a child molester, murderer and anti-Semite...
