That's the one. The one who ran for the leadership of the Canadian conservative party made a pitiful showing and was livid that he couldn't personally pay off his campaign debt. I don't know if it's paid off yet.

To our detriment, we often confuse capitulation with compromise, thus refusing to compromise. Compromise means "with promise" of moving forward, not capitulation, which ends movement.
