Toronto Mayor David Miller attended the Second Annual "Friends of Sinn Fein Canada" dinner, held in Toronto in November 2002.
Miller, who attended the fundraiser when he was a city councillor, was elected as Toronto’s mayor in November 2003.
In an election year, Miller posed for photographs with Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams, along with Canadian Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett.
Adams has had the door slammed on his North American fundraising stops on the heels of demands that the Sinn Finn end its support for criminal and terrorist activity in its support of the Irish Republican Army (IRA).
On Thursday, the White House will honour the five sisters of Robert McCartney, slain at age 33 by members of the IRA.
The White House has told Adams he is not welcome, and added it did not want him or any of his colleagues raising money for their operations during their current trip to the United States.

oh Toronto, you made a mistake when you didn't elect John Tory as your mayor but Toronto's loss will be Ontario's gain when Tory leads the Conservatives back to power here
or maybe not, he is socially liberal - will he get the support of the social conservatives?
