On March 5 CBC reporter Peter Cowan asked former Labrador MP Peter Penashue how donation errors were made in his 2011 campaign. Penashue dodged the question, as he has in the past, and instead turned the conversation around, accusing Cowan and the CBC of treating him “unfairly”. Penashue also told Cowan he had learned one of Cowan’s colleagues was running the Liberal campaign, referring to former CBC radio host Cindy Wall, who retired two years ago and is now running the campaign for Liberal candidate Yvonne Jones.
Penashue’s former Labrador adviser, Donna Paddon, also used to work for CBC.
