Ontario Liberals Pat Sorbara and Gerry Lougheed have had their Sudbury byelection bribery scandal case thrown out.
Sorbara and Lougheed were accused of offering Liberal candidate hopeful Andrew Olivier a position to step down for Wynne’s preferred candidate (now Energy Minister Glenn Thibeault) in a 2015 Sudbury byelection.
Reason being, Wynne had already decided to pluck then-NDP MP Thibeault to be the candidate so the other two couldn’t be found guilty of interfering with Olivier.

Lougheed’s lawyer, Michael Lacy, said there was a great deal of political buzz surrounding the case and, “it’s a day that never should have been” feeling it was politically motivated.
How can it be politically motivated when it is not a political party that lays any charge in the province?
But then again, the Liberals don’t believe the office of the Ontario Auditor General on your electricity rates.
