CREDIBILITY
Greater transparency and accountability is what Canadians were promised.
Having read the article sent out on the Digest of July 2nd which had in it
"The party spent only $41,000 on fundraising in 2007," I started to dig,
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/080702/national/liberals_money_woes
The results show very little "t and a" on the part of the governing party.
There may very well be reporting rules that can be interpreted differently, just
as in what Elections Canada is being sued about in regard to advertising in
the last election. If so please let me know if you are aware of them so that
I can post them and bring them to the attention of those sharing my view.
Until they are forthcoming the figures of $41 227 being the total spent on
fund raising and $ 47 380 on polling are totally unreasonable to me.
How about you?
Joe
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The Conservatives, according to the Statement filed with Elections Canada, spent less than the Green Party on POLLING in 2007, less than 10% of what the Liberals spent and about one-third of that of the NDP. An even greater difference existed in regard to monies spent for fundraising between the three Parliamentary parties, the Greens having no figure stated for expenditures in regard to this.CREDIBILITY

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The POLLING and FUNDRAISING figures for the Conservatives are open to question. The improbably small amounts stated. may be based on creative accounting. The reporting of Cabinet Ministers flight expenses, essentially national ads flowing through candidates' campaigns and errors regarding expenses related to their National Meeting suggest the possibility
A question, then, were all expenses related to POLLING and FUNDRAISING included under these accounting headings? And if not what were they?

From: "Rene Moreau" To Joe; From Rene Moreau (416-489-8347) re; Morgantaler abortion reward; Sure, there are times when abortion is warranted, but nothing like the numbers he advocated. What's next, an award for population control, a la Hitler, Stalin, Picton the pig farmer, or Bernardo. And for the convenience of the mother and father to reduce undue stress and expense? It was said that Christ would come back in 2000 years. It's 2008 now. Did he try, and get aborted? Remember, his mother was poor and un-married the first time. If all the future kids born, were born in comfortable circumstances, without stress, would all the future generations be untested wimps, with nothing to make them stronger, like coping mechanisms? In the past, some of out best humans had real challenges to face, to harden them up. If every-one is born with a gift, how many gifts have we destroyed, with Henry's help? Is it just my imagination, or are the right-win types able to blame the left-wing types for this infanticide, and the public accepts it? If Nobel starts giving such awards, start building Arks!

Joe--i haven't rec'd a phone call recently as on the last phone call I told
them I will not be voting for CPC again and told them why.
I have rec'd a 'special award' as a (I forget the words) valued worker and I
recently rec'd a 'card' desigating me as a 'conservative'--both also asking
for money. I don't remember the exact wording but I will tell you both the
card and the certificate burned well in the fire pit!
On the other hand--I NEVER receive an answer to my emails!

Subject: Preach change? Then Live It
Can you imagine our elected officials walking anywhere? The latest report
out is that heating with natural gas this winter will cost 45% more than
last winter. I can't see any elected official turning the thermostat down,
can you?
When thinking of the self-righteous politicians telling us what we have to
do to cut back our CO2 emissions the phrase comes to mind, that being "there
is no-one as virtuous as a reformed prostitute"!
The taxpayer just paid for a 'study' that proved the rich have a bigger
carbon footprint than the poor! Well, DUH! I wonder if this includes
politicians that just gave themselves a big raise? They aren't poor so they
must have a big carbon footprint?

Subject: Health Canada
This was first stated in 2005. The solution was not to withdraw the drug
but to 'warn parents and doctors what to watch out for'?
A friend had a daughter on Ritalin for about 4 years. They didn't like the
way she was acting so had the doctor discontinue the medication. This girl
was extremely intelligent. A month after discontinuing the drug she started
having grand mal seizures. The doctor was not surprised as this is a side
affect of Ritalin. The parents were not told at all that this would happen.
The seizures continued for about three years.
Health Canada--looking after the drug companies, er, the citizens of Canada?
