Because this wasn't a media request, rather his own ramblings, he didn't need to clear it with HQ. And he won the nomination, so he's already gotten his $1,000 back.

You'd think so, but that relies on Quebec having a rational grasp on their financial interests. Or perhaps their bluffing and we just haven't called them on it, but they did get really close to the edge.

I agree CPP is nowhere near perfect, but if someone is planning ahead with that as their largest source of post-retirement income I'm not sure how wise that is. I view CPP more as a good supplement to what someone should also have, a good retirement plan on their own (TFSAs, RRSP etc).
And actually the CPP method is a hybrid of a Pay-As-You-Go and fully funded program, which apparently is more robust if proper assumptions as made. Again as long as we want to actually continue to re-evaluate the system, we should ensure its solvency in theory forever.
And I too have never heard of a bond to ensure anyone stays quiet, especially failed candidates. I mean if they support the party (which given they wanted to be running for, doesn't seem like a stretch), wouldn't they want to do whats in the party's best interest? If you're afraid they might sabotage other candidates, doesn't that not speak to a dysfunctional party?
