Who knew the Irvings lived in British Columbia?

Last month, The Vancouver Sun reported the Law Society of British Columbia and the federal Justice Department were looking into allegations of overbilling at Lobay Dennison Beubier, a Nanaimo law partnership. At the time, Public Eye revealed that David Lobay, one of the partners working at that firm, previously ran as a federal Liberal candidate and was a major party donor, contributing $49,650.29 since 1995. Mr. Lobay also chipped in $1,000 to Paul Martin's leadership campaign. But that isn't his only connection to the prime minister's cult of personality. A concerned citizen has informed us that, back when Mr. Martin was a mere finance minister and Mr. Lobay was still working at Hunter Garrison Lobay, the great man himself went sports fishing with the Nanaimo lawyer and his colleagues (one of whom supplied the boat). That Kodak moment was captured with a photograph that is now prominently displayed in the lawyers' private offices. Perhaps that's one reason why the firm received $5,468,905.10 in drug prosecution contracts from the feds?

Wow!

Just how big is a $5.5M fish anyway?

And..... did they send the head to David Andersen?
