PIK Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 The NDP need a extension, before they come good on their donations. The other parties had no problem coming out with theirs, so what are the up to? http://www.canada.com/news/Tories+raised+nearly+million+campaign+funds+last+year+Elections+Canada/6884467/story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercoma Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Considering EC just informed them that they need to repay donations because EC didn't feel that the price they were selling advertising for was "fair market value," it makes sense that they would need an extension to work out the issue.

Rick Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Thanks to the everyone for proving my point, if this was the other way around this thread would be full and gone on for days. When the NDP is in power and has been proven to be as corrupt and guilty of a number of fraudulent acts as the Harper Conservatives have committed during their tenure, get back to us and we'll talk.Until then, this is minor compared to the massive attacks against Canadians that the Harper government has committed.

cybercoma Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Sorry Rick. But election fraud is a serious manner, Election fraud? Give me a break. They sold advertising for their convention at a price that Elections Canada didn't feel was "fair market value." They're allowed to sell advertising space. All of the parties do it. The problem is that you're not allowed to sell advertising space say for $10,000 when the "fair market value," as determined by Elections Canada, is $8,000. This whole issue is not as big of a deal as you're making it out to be. And it sure as hell isn't election fraud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have I heard that on this board. How the rules and the posting change when the NDP are involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercoma Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) So all parties do it so it is ok then. How many times have I heard that on this board. How the rules and the posting change when the NDP are involved. All parties sell advertising at their conventions because it is completely within the rules and legal to do so.Let me repeat the problem for you again, since you obviously didn't get it the first time. The illegal portion of the contributions is the cost of advertising that EXCEEDS fair market value. Selling the advertising is not illegal; that's why I said all parties do it. The money that they got in excess of fair market value is against the rules for Elections Canada and it will be paid back.

Shakeyhands Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Sorry Rick. But election fraud is a serious manner, This is just a hilarious comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercoma Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 This thread won't have legs until we see the numbers from the NDP. At this point we don't know the difference is between market value and what the NDP charged for advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
