I’m a Member of Parliament from Ontario and I want you to know the truth about Patrick Brown.
The scandal that ended his leadership of the Ontario PC Party wasn’t the only questionable behaviour he was engaged in.
Ontario’s Integrity Commissioner found that he had breached the Member’s Integrity Act four times. He deliberately didn’t tell the Integrity Commissioner about a big personal loan he got from an associate who wanted to be the PC candidate in Brampton North.
What was that money for? The mortgage on his $2.3 million luxury waterfront home.
The Integrity Commissioner’s report says that Patrick “may have been less than transparent” about the source of his money. In the Globe and Mail, Patrick claimed he “received help” from his family to pay for the home.
But the truth was the loan came from a man named Jass Johal.
When he asked about it, Patrick said, “I have no business dealings with Mr. Johal. No deal was ever done.” He even posted a misleading picture of an affidavit, which the Ontario Integrity Commissioner said was “designed to leave the public with the impression that there had been no financial dealings between the two men at all.”
But he finally admitted where the loan came from when Ontario’s Integrity Commissioner started digging into his affairs.
The Integrity Commissioner called Patrick’s behaviour “disturbing on many levels.”
We need a principled and honest leader if we want to defeat Trudeau. We cannot have a leader tainted by shady deals and scandals.
