I guess 'we' did.  I don't know as unlike most of the people who post comments here, this site is not my life's work.  I just do not see a 'big deal' in any PM inviting donors to his/her party to an event like the dinner in question.   I mentioned the last PM and the Israel trip because it is a good parallel and one which seemed not to concern the Globe & Mail and people like you who are selectively outraged over what amounts to nothing.  (Unlike the Israel trip for which the public did foot the bill).  Now you have a good shift posting.
