The question is why did the Tories think if they put the money in a local account then pulled it out to spend it federally it would be counted as local spending?

Never said that but I said I wont vote for someone who steals my money.

I like Jack Layton personally why would I vote for the Liberals who are a weak party and crooks, or he Conservatives who are also crooks and bought an election? Question why do you vote for crooks?

Because they fallowed the law as elections Canada understood it instead of making their own rules cause they didn't want to fallow the real rules. If Harper goes out and kills someone should the RCMP investigate Dion just becuase that would be fair? See how dumb that spin is?

Yah they didn't do anything when the Liberals were stealing our money how dare they do something when the Conservatives steal our money!!! Ohhhh I almost forgot ADSCAM ADSCAM ADSCAM

I would argue both parties suck

Oh I am sorry you did not dismiss parties who when taken together represent the majority of Canadians? Oh you forgot to mention AD SCAM in that post btw you might want to edit it.

How is sending money to one place so they can send the exact same money it back so that is ok for the party to now spend not money laundering? The conservatives are admitting they did this the question is it illegal? It is a scheme, legal or not. From wiki "Money laundering is the practice of engaging in financial transactions in order to conceal the identity, SOURCE, and/or destination of money" I am not saying it was illegal or not but it is clearly not moral.

It is money laundering that is a scheme.

Hahahahahaha you are clinging to straws here aren't you? let me quote you "I dismiss around easily 60% of the country becuase I feel like it, and there you go see after i get ride of all those the conservatives are the only real choice." Ok that should be your guys campaign slogan PROVE SOMETHING COMING FROM A SOURCE OTHER THEN PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT THE LAST ELECTION AND WHO ARE STEALING OUR MONEY TODAY!!! Ps the liberal use to be reform party and they didn't do that either deal with it.

AND I QUOTE "The Conservatives contend that this "in-and-out" scheme is perfectly legal and that other parties do it, too. No we don't, says NDP MP Jean Crowder. Nor us, says the Liberals' Keith Martin, adding that he didn't recall it happening when he was in the Reform Party, either." Every other party is saying "We did not do this" you guys are the only ones saying they did it too and there seems to be a reason you guys are the only ones being charged with it. Stop it with the everyone else does it arguement that was created by the conservatives to try and spin this, prove it or it isn't true.

What they did is not disputed and creative accounting or not it was wrong. People are being reimbursed for money they did not spend so the party could spend more advertising outside their ridings. Legal or not it is nothing more then stealing from the taxpayer.

It is clear they only care when the liberals steal the tax payers money they don't care when their party does it.

It defiantly is not saying this is perfectly legal as you have said. I do not see it as ethical even if it proves to be legal which I don't think it is. I mean look at what they did. They sent money to campaigns they knew would lose, got them to send it back to the party who bought national adds with because the party already reached their spending cap. They would then say these losing campaigns who did not reach their spending limits were the ones using money and almost all of them got 60% reimbursement for that money which they never spent. Sounds like a money laundering scheme to me not an upstanding legal thing to do.

Firstly you don't get to yell "HE IS DEAD DON"T TALK ABOUT HIM" because he was not speaking ill of him he was speaking ill of the guys who tried to buy him off deal with it. Secondly it was public money they were getting the 1.1 million dollars back from the election commission because the people they were using for the in and out scheme got 10% of the vote.You see when one gets 10% of the vote they get 60% of the money back from THE GOVERNMENT. Lastly the Liberals spent the legal limit the key word here the legal limit not he illegal limit. Nice spin though

I did I voted NDP and I will again I am sick of sleaze and I can tell the Torys and Libs are more of the same this just proves it.

"On Dec. 6, 2005, just days after the election began, Kumpf sent an e-mail to Conservative party officials, wondering if the proposal to have Retail Media place ads on behalf of local candidates would violate the Canada Elections Act: “While our thinking is that this option would be legal, we are not certain beyond all reasonable doubt.” They were not told it was "it was perfectly legal" they were told it might be legal and went a head with it because they wanted to win and they bought an election. Now they are being investigated because it might now be legal as they thought it might. Next time choose your words carefully because a quote might come back and bite you.

What the hell are you saying? I am not forgetting about the conservatives buying an election if that is what you are saying although I can not tell if that is what you are saying or if you are accusing the Liberals of setting fire to theatre?

"Andrew Kumpf was Retail Media's key executive on the Conservative account. On Dec. 6, 2005, just days after the campaign began, Kumpf sent an e-mail to party officials, wondering if the proposal to have Retail Media place ads on behalf of local candidates would violate the Canada Elections Act" They can't even claim ignorance here people so stop trying. "The Conservatives contend that this "in-and-out" scheme is perfectly legal and that other parties do it, too. No we don't, says NDP MP Jean Crowder. Nor us, says the Liberals' Keith Martin, adding that he didn't recall it happening when he was in the Reform Party, either."

Prove the liberals did the same thing. Do you even know what the conservatives did? Canadians did not get sick of sleaze and lying to only vote in more sleazy liars and this is what elections Canada is telling us what we got.

Actually it is 6.04% when you use the right numbers 1.1 million over budget of the 18.2 million the conservatives spent. Last time I checked the Libs are not the ones in hot water. How about you stop trying to spin it. Conservatives spent 6.04% over the law and won the election by 6.04% they bought the election the numbers work out exactly in fact.

The conservative won th election by 6% of the popular vote and 1 million dollars of the 18 million you are allowed to spend is also 6% of the total.

They usually don't make people up to prove their points like you. I had a friend who was there too he said not only was the RCMP the first on scene but when they opened the door Harper was in the room just shredding evidence. See how easy it is to distort the facts when you just get to make them up?

Yah who told you and why did they not tell the media who report differently?

Agreed and causes huge health risks, Nova Scotia is also very depend on coal. I would rather nuclear is a viable sustainable option is too far out of reach. Coal=Bad, I also would like to point out deregulation also =Bad but whole other can of beans.
