Grewal borrowed, lost “millions” playing casino blackjack

Brampton MP Raj Grewal has admitted that he borrowed and lost millions playing high-stakes blackjack at Gatineau’s Casino du Lac Leamy across the Ottawa River from Parliament. He says in a statement Friday that he has paid it all back but he does not say how nor from whom he borrowed these fantastic amounts in the first place. Remarkably, he also said on Facebook that he is thinking of staying on as an MP for Brampton East. Sources have told the Canadian Press that they expect Mr. Grewal to be expelled from the Liberal caucus if he does not resign. Grewal is saying that his gambling folly became too big to keep secret in November even though he insists that his wife did not know what he was doing. Nor does he say just how he accomplished the repayment of such sums in such a short time.
