EDMONTON – A United Conservative backbencher has been fined $15,000 by Elections Alberta for a variety of offences including filing false financial statements.

The 10 violations also include exceeding expense limits and accepting a prohibited contribution from a numbered company of which Toor had been a director.

There are accusations that Jeff Davison s mayoral campaign coordinated with a third-party advertiser (TPA) in hosting a golf tournament fundraiser. An official complaint has now been launched with Elections Alberta against Davison s team. These allegations, if true, are extremely troubling, Mayor Naheed Nenshi said.

It asked for individuals and companies to sign up for the event and pledge to sponsor the fundraiser. A $10,000 Title Sponsor package includes the opportunity to ask Jeff Davison questions in Q&A at (the) event, while a $5,000 package includes breakfast with Davison on t
