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.
Where did I say anything about independant candidates and not believing in them? You are a true Liberal aren't you...obfuscate everything when needed.

But to answer...of course indies are allowed, as long as they raise their own money.

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.
Politicians taking photo ops? Stunning development. I would agree with you if it was only Cons that ever do this...but it aint, so its irrelevant. Again though...no idea what this has to do with FUNDRAISING.

How about a $26 million ad campaign (just this year alone) of partisan advertising for the CEAP?
Was it taxpayers money? No...so one more time, not even talking about anything related.

How about using a minister's (Jason Kenney) letterhead and people in his department to send out fundraising letters?
Huge screw up and one that no one in office should do. I do wonder it has ever happened before though.
