Harper: We Are Not Crooks!

A quick Donationgate update.

Everything is hunky-dory in Tory-land, says PM Stephen Harper, for the CPC "...followed all political financing rules when collecting fees for Conservative conventions."

Harper was at an event to the promote the lowering of the GST (article doesn't say where), but apparently the press wanted to talk scandal. Interestingly enough, Harper's aides were still trying to keep reporters away from their Glorious Leader:

Harper's staff had initially attempted to bar reporters from asking the prime minister questions, saying the area where his car was parked behind a convenience store was private property.

Anon: So the Tories are to be allowed 213,000 corruption stories before any of this matters?

Anyway, I'm not surprised. In with the new boss, same as the old boss, more or less.

Most delegates attending the conference were issued political tax deduction receipts for attending the convention... In fact, some were issued tax receipts for more than just the gate fee:
