   The Ontario Liberal party is currently experiencing a temporary   
   reduction in their income that is flowed through no-bid contracts   
   tendered by the Ontario E-Health program.   
      
   Stephenson probably has a deal to become a significant donor to the   
   Liberal Party of Ontario, as a way of saying thankyou for the fluffy and   
   lucrative new part-time vanity job she was picked for.

   Gosbee will probably become a significant donor to the Federal   
   Conservative party (he's from Calgary).
