Comments: An Entirely Isolated Bleg
I couldn't find anything that fits those terms in either the Toronto Star or Globe and Mail dating back to 1980. I'll possibly do more searching if I have more time.

Freelance? You're a professional!

I was under the impression that Margaret Truedou was sleeping with certain members of the Rolling Stones? (Keith Richards wasn't interested.)

Had to go back 100+ years, but read up on Nicholas Flood Davin: Lawyer, Newspaper Founder, Member of Parliament, Poet
1843-1901
at http://www.canadianshakespeares.ca/Production_Shakespeare/SearchPublicShowPlay.cfm?PlayID=277
Apparently male (politicians) indiscretions are inspirations for stage plays, while female indiscretions (politicians) are for the gossip pages......

The Davin case is quite interesting and one I was not aware of, however, it doesn't quite fit Mader's paramaters as Davin's mistress never divorced her husband, therefore Davin could not be named as a third party to that divorce. Very close though.
As for the Trudeau affair, Pierre and Margaret were the principal parties to the divorce (I have no idea what the proper legal terms are, I'm the historian here), and as far as I know, no other MP's were cited as third parties in the proceedings, though that may warrant further investigation.

This was a much different matter, but Francis Fox's career implosion comes to mind...
