It’s still rumour at this point but, after what we’ve seen this week, I wouldn’t be surprised by this at all:
Earlier, one of our astute readers reported federal Conservative godfather John Reynolds (who is not a lawyer) would be “joining Lyall Knott” – a well-known provincial Liberal fundraiser – at Clark Wilson LLP. A senior Tory operative couldn’t immediately verify that report. But he did say Mr. Reynolds has received job offers from a number of Vancouver law firms. In a brief interview with Public Eye, Mr. Knott declined to comment on whether he would be working with Mr. Reynolds, saying “Why don’t you talk to John?” The company’s more notable clients include Concert Properties Ltd., HMY Airlines Inc., HSBC Bank plc, Methanex Corp. and Orca Bay Sports and Entertainment Corp.
John Reynolds as a lobbyist? Well, you know what they say: Campaigns are Campaigns.
