Thanks, BeneDiction, for the link.
I have no problem believing that the reason Chuck Cadman voted to support the Liberal government was so that his wife would receive a greater payout if he died as a sitting member of parliament. I would have done the same.
If the government fell and he died during an election, his wife would have received much less.

However, it certainly is not putting your constituents first!

According to Mike Duffy, Cadman was never offered a “life insurance” policy. Just think for a moment: no insurance company would ever insure a dying man.

Again, Duffy says that Cadman told him that the conservatives offered to cover his campaign costs if he ran as a conservative. Where is the scandal? He was never offered a cabinet post.

An offer is quite different than actually being able to keep your promise; sounds perfectly logical that a politician would be the character cast in this story - even if it does turn out to be “fiction”.

So, how does one instantly provide $1,000,000.00 of life insurance on somone’s life, a subject that is known to be close to death?. How about the medical, the underwriting approval, and the licensed insurance agent who takes the application, states the applicant is in good health and submits it for underwriting. This just simply could not happen. It seems like another bit of journalism fiction.
