As far as the house insurance your covered until you lose anyway.

"If there is an election, and you die during the election before you are elected, or are not reelected at all, in each case being ineligible for the life insurance benefits provided to members of the Parliament of Canada, then we will pay to your heirs the sum of $1,000,000." Note that death in office resulted in a $300,000 payout under the government plan. The CPC has denied that a policy was offered. However, is the "private policy" example above still a policy within the meaning of the Conservative denials?matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963046409309506777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-26172274670850161182008-03-11T21:46:00.000-04:002008-03-11T21:46:00.000-04:00If it were above board we would kow exactly what h...If it were above board we would kow exactly what happened by now.<BR/><BR/>I do think Weston's theory is still a bribe.<BR/><BR/>I find the theory interesting in light of the fact the conservatives are "clamping down" on loans to leadership candidates.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112657859825911939noreply@blogger.com
