So just in this one case, some guy wasn't around to make his "individual donation" so they skipped one little step and just took the money straight from the corp. And so, you know, no wonder it slipped Penashue and Bowers' mind.<br /><br />To them, and almost certainly to the Conservative party and very likely to the Liberals as well, it's not that corporate donations are a problem. It's that you have this annoying extra step in receiving them so as to deceive the public and Elections Canada, all just to stop the NDP from getting union donations. I'm sure they wonder why all this charade is necessary and why they couldn't just ban union donations but keep corporate ones.Purple library guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01930984683714519212noreply@blogger.com
