Hey Lurch, what is this about a failed influence peddling scheme? I don't live in Alberta so I don't always hear what is going on...

The gist of it is that the party was holding its $500/plate fundraiser, but if you threw in a 'donation' of at least $5000 you were given personal access to the premier (for nothing more than friendly conversation, according to the party!). The purpose was to pay off leadership contest bills for a number of candidates.
