I'm honestly too lazy to look it up, but hasn't it been proven that all parties funnelled monies from local ridings to pay for regional ad buys, and didn't a court over-turn the ruling by EC that it was against the law (in fact, that the regional ad buys all did show the local candidates name and therefore were acceptable)?

I could be wrong, and it is early Monday so pre-coffee I'm too lazy to go looking.... perhaps later.

But just to clarify, the in-and-out scandal is ok to talk about in reference to this completely unrelated issue, but not any Liberal scandal - is that it?
