So you don't believe in independent candidates? You seem to imply that only people who have this support system behind them should be able to hold office.

How about MP's (strangely enough only Conservative MPs) traveling all over Canada to get pictures taken at sites where stimulus money (remember, the money that Flaherty didn't think was needed right after the 2008 election because the Conservatives didn't think a recession was coming?) was used. I'm sure that was all on private time and not for political purposes.

If you are talking about elected members appearing at fundraising dinners etc, no I have no problem whatsoever with that.
How about a $26 million ad campaign (just this year alone) of partisan advertising for the CEAP? How about using a minister's (Jason Kenney) letterhead and people in his department to send out fundraising letters?
