Alta4ever Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 Yummy. I'm serving it with my Canada Goose.Again, my only point with the Conservatives was their suggestion that they never used this tool. All Parties do. It was the meat of the Harper campaign. I never said the Liberals, NDP or even Green Party didn't hold these functions. I only debated Conservative supporters who tried to say that they were the party of grassroots so never served rubber chicken at high priced lunches and dinners. They're still picking it out of ther teeth. Actually it was us who were saying that all parties used the dollar per plate dinner as a fundrasising tool. You need me to I will go and find that thread.

Alta4ever Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 According to the rules Ignatieff must incur all expenses until he is officially declared the leader in May. I know it's difficult for a Conservative to comprehend adhering to Elections Canada rules, but we must. What does acclaimed mean to you, he has no compidition he is listed as party leader...the liberals are tring to keep this open with the photo op in may to try and get a bounce in the media and use this backdoor fundraising to squeeze another 1100 out of the sytem from thier corporation (CEO's families and such) donors.

jdobbin Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Posted March 27, 2009 What does acclaimed mean to you.. It means that there is no competition but that it isn't certified until a vote in May. At that time, it is yay or nay. In other words, the leadership campaign is decided then and the party will not pay for expenses for the candidate till then. Quote

Sorry no when no one ran in the local mayoral race, the mayor was acclaimed and their was no race. Such is it with theliberals, their is no race, you are just using this as a backdoor fundraising scam to get passed the election laws.

Um, that was an actual public election where there was no yay or nay option. There is no acclamation in a Liberal leadership convention. It still goes to a vote. The Liberal's are constitutionally obligated to hold a vote even if there is only one candidate. Until that vote, all expenses for the candidate have to be covered by their campaign. The Tories have gone to Elections Canada about this. I fully expect their complaint to be found baseless. Quote

Absolutely ridiculous, vote on one choice, it is being abused, by the same party that brought us adscam. Looking for back door donations to fill party coffers. You and I both know that it is in the liberal party constitution that the caucus can acclaim a leader, what the liberal party is doing is an abuse of the system.

You and I both know that it is in the liberal party constitution that the caucus can acclaim a leader, what the liberal party is doing is an abuse of the system. The caucus can decide on a leader but the constitution says there has to be an election and there is one: In May. Yay or nay. Or do you deny that? Do you deny there is a vote? Do you deny that there has to be a vote? Quote

Shakeyhands Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) I told you Adscam was going to be brought up early and often. Without it the CPC has nothing. Edited March 28, 2009 by Shakeyhands Quote "They muddy the water, to make it seem deep." - Friedrich Nietzsche

Try to grow up. If Harper had any evidence of that, he would contact the RCMP. You're grasping at straws in your anger. Quote

How about the banned for life members that were invovled in Adscam allowed back in I'd say proof enough, the adscam liberals are back.

Dobbin this isn't anger this is just calling like it is. Their is no leadership contest hence the leadership donation rules are being abused by the liberal party.

If they have no problems with it them you are probably barking up the wrong tree. Quote
