Okay, first time you endorse Narconon, a Scientology front, you can be excused because you are genuinely ignorant. Defending yourself defending the second time is just digging yourself into a deeper hole.

West Island Liberal MP Bernard Patry defended his recent endorsement of anti-drug organization Narconon Trois Rivière’s prevention campaign despite the latter’s supposed links to the Church of Scientology.

“I did not know that they might be tied into the Scientology church,” said Patry, who represents the Pierrefonds-Dollard riding. “As a former physician, when I started looking into this, I just wanted to try to find out what type of treatment the drug addicts are getting.”

Oh.
What really makes this ridiculous is that Patry is a doctor, and he has access to research assistants as a parliamentarian.  Even if his assistants couldn’t do the work for him, a half hour online would give him the information he needs to know about Scientologist ‘treatment’ centres.  If he is a Scientologist, fine, he is free to say so,  “I didn’t know” in the age of the internet and in light of the current world wide scrutiny Scientology is finally under, isn’t going to impress voters.

The Honourable Bernard Paltry can start here. Or here.  How about here?  And if the local paper quotes Scientologists defending the program in the same article you are in, that might be a clue.

Patry cares about addiction treatment He said so when he endorsed Narconon in February. It costs about 15 thousand dollars to go through four months of the ‘program.
