Not so Honourable, er... Member

Liberal Party membership apparently has it's privileges...insert alt text here
You would think that when a sitting MP is arrested, jailed overnight, and set for a criminal trial on multiple serious charges, somebody would be told about it.

You would be wrong.

Marwan Tabbara had been chair of the House of Commons subcommittee on international human rights until this week, but he has now resigned from the role.
This just gets better and better.
Neither did any information emerge after Tabbara’s court appearance. Tabbara declined requests for comment for this story.
Wonder if Marwan'll use the venerable "I didn't know it was against the law" defense.

UPDATE: It wasn't Marwan's first rodeo
"Liberals allowed MP Marwan Tabbara to run in 2019 despite sexual harassment investigation."
COMPARE AND CONTRAST: What double standard?

Remember the big media kerfuffle over Conservative leadership candidate Patrick Brown's penis?
"CBC News has not independently confirmed the allegations."
But apparently has no trouble propagating them.

Toronto Police are not confirming this. Or denying it. Translation: It’s under investigation.
