Conservative MPs handing out stimulus cheques with Party logo on them!
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/partisan-cheques-put-tories-in-hot-water/article1323521/



On at least two occasions, Nova Scotia Tory MP Gerald Keddy was photographed holding one of those oversized cheques that politicians love to stand beside, accompanied by grateful constituents, when disbursing government funds.

Except that Mr. Keddy had artfully removed the Government of Canada logo and substituted the Conservative Party logo, a clear violation of the Federal Identity Program.

What a punk!

His signature on the item.

3. There's now hundreds of Tory cases like this
The Liberals have made a formal complaint to the Ethics Commissioner. Harper will skate, but it might prove interesting anyway.

4. Who gives a fuck?

As long as our electoral system is a broken pile of shit, the Tories will have little trouble pulling this shit if they keep being able to fool 38 - 41% of the population like they have been.

It's wretched that people who would vomit at the idea of bringing Mulroney back to power are so willing to support an ideology and a man exponentially more vile and morally bankrupt.

5. Obviously
You don't realize that we have dumded down everything.

Harper's base gives him the right to say anything that will win them points.
