How is this bribery? It's a fundraiser. Nenshi didn't set those limits either, the firm did. If they want to fundraise for Nenshi, and Nenshi attends the event, what's the issue? The invitation seems to have been stupidly worded (as a pay-for-access), and that's where the confusion comes from. It's the firm fault for making a crappy invite, but past that, it's kind of a hollow story.
Plus, what if it was a company throwing a fundraiser for Andre Chabot? Would he have a problem with it? Likely not. He needs campaign funds too.
