Labine was at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine in Thunder Bay, while Kehar was at the University of Manitoba. Dr. Meaghan Labine says she lent Monica Kehar over $160,000 after Kehar told Labine she had breast cancer and needed help. Kehar told her the money was coming and even sent her an email proving she had a job offer from an established doctor, Labine said. But when Labine ran into that doctor at a meeting for the College of Family Physicians of Canada, the doctor had never heard of Monica Kehar. She was eventually expelled from residency and censured by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba, which did its own investigation.
