I honestly think if the scandal pointed to Layton and the NDP most people would bet on it being rogue individuals - not that I'm an NDP voter - but that's how I perceive the culture of that party. Maybe it's unwarranted and perhaps some of it has to do with Layton's passing, but that's my perception.
The Liberals, I would also suspect it would be rogue operatives, mostly because I don't think the current iteration of the Liberal party would be capable of organizing a bake sale.
The Harper Conservatives on the other hand are renowned for their top-down organization and the ferocious centralization of their message. I also perceive Harper as willing to do pretty much anything to gain power and I think that mindset percolates through the whole Party.
Given those two things I feel it is likely there is some kind of party involvement and, even if Harper is completely unconnected to this, he has to bear some culpability for encouraging a culture where this kind of behaviour could be considered acceptable.
I honestly don't know how any of you could vote for this man or party.

What a silly post, seriously.
Your making a accusation based on your own political leanings and not on any proof or evidence.
Ohhh its the Conservatives and Harper is evil booga booga booga, so it must be an organized thing going right to the top.
The Liberal's have had a history of very organized scandals and other odorous actions that go right to the top of the party in the past, but your giving them a pass because of their incompetence? The Liberal's wrote the manual on dirty politics that other parties follow.
Oh and Shawnigate to the other poster was not abou the purveyors losing money. Old disgusting Jean Chretien a scumbag if I've every heard of one managed to make a profit on it.
While there aren't great political options in this country. Until the Liberal's burn out their core and completely rebuild, and until the NDP, well the NDP are reverting back to their hopeless kitten status, I don't know how anyone votes for them.
