I did like this part of the article:
Quote:
"Many friends and supporters, they came to me and said, the next time I run for something, they want to be the first to write a cheque.… I figured it didn't have to be for politics again. I could help support other causes," he said.
"For better or for worse, I have a certain level of fame or infamy in Calgary, and I decided to put that to a good use."
He admired the work being done by Big Brothers Big Sisters, which focuses on providing mentorship to children and youth facing adversity, and decided to partner with the organization.

EDIT: To RedHot's point, I wonder how many of his donors supported Jeromy the person, and how many supported Jeromy the politician which could be leveraged for further gain.
