That would be the former Conservative MP who lost his seat to the NDP... in Alberta. He's married to MP Helena Guergis.
I do not know if he was going to run again, but if he was, that now leaves a bit of a void for the Conservatives to fill.
And, yes, a conservative was doing cocaine and driving drunk. I refuse to make too much of that... Nah...
Okay, I will. Because if you're going to be the Law and Order Party of Canada, you'd best not have people onboard who drive drunk and snort coke. If you are going to carry that banner, you'd best behave yourself.
I wonder what he'll think of the judge if he gets jail time? If he doesn't will he accuse the 'liberal' judge of being soft on crime?
Of course, he's not guilty until proven otherwise.
CBC has the full story.

Update:
Oh! Right! Jaffer ran an anti-drug ad last year, attacking the NDP:
"Jack Layton and the Ottawa NDP have publicly supported the legalization of marijuana. In fact when asked about marijuana Jack Layton called it a wonderful substance which Canadians should be free to smoke at home or in a cafe. Edmontonians understand how difficult it is to make sure our children make the right choices especially on serious issues like drug use. The Conservative Party supports drug free schools and getting tough with drug dealers who sell illegal drugs to children. Don't let our schools go up in smoke..on October 14th vote Conservative. Authorized by the official agent for Rahim Jaffer."
