Either Junior is very very very naive about why people would pay $1500 a plate to go to one of his dinners or he's lying.

I guess he could believe the Canadian media reporting that Canadians love him so much that people would pay 1500 just to see him.  Orrrr.... there is the more likely side of things that yes he can be bought for 1500 a plate.  

Is this practice worng?  Yes, in so many ways it's wrong.  What was it that Kathleen Wynne said "it's not illegal to accept a bribe it's illegal to offer one, or it's illegal to accept a bribe but not to make one.  I'm so confused becasue a bribe is a bribe and illegal on both sides.
