I just can't see how you don't recognize how this all could have been avoided.

A) It was not specifically partisan. Sure his party was in the best shape, but you don't have to be a conservative to think that parties should have to raise money themselves. This was put in because the corrupt Liberal government that was in at the time needed money and felt entitled to taxpayer dollars ( I mean really, they stole enough around that time frame too).
B) That footnote not
is not currently in the mini budget. It was taken out. The conservatives made all the amendments the liberals indicated (to the media not the conservatives, because why try to make this work), and yet it changed NOTHING. Why? Maybe because they weren't the issue in the first place. They were an excuse. The liberals wanted power, this was what they used to get it.
