Kudos to the Ottawa Citizen for delving into the details of the Cons version of Adscam and lets hope they keep up the good work
Citizens better get behind the people at Elections Canada and demand no political interference by the Harper Cons in this investigation. They need to be independent and able to pursue this issue without political pressure or interference.
Remember Jean-Pierre Kingsley? He used to be the Chief Electoral Officer and he “suddenly resigned” last December when he took on the Harper Cons over donor status of convention fees. That decision caused Mr. Harper himself to be caught as contributing over the legal donation limits. I am sure it is merely coincidental that the Chief Electoral Officer resigned shortly after that decision. But you have to wonder.
How Accountable has the Harper Con government been around their much vaunted Federal; Accountability Act? Check out Democracy Watch for some background.
Small wonder we feel we can’t rust this government.
Is there a list anywhere of the candidates involved? Would be interesting to see how many are MPs and how many are now government appointed staff or liaisons (like the one in Skeena).
