I still believe that he was in the dark about this and haven't seen any proof to the contrary. Even the RCMP state there is no evidence.

Let's say for a second you are correct. That the most controlling, micro-managing prime minster we have had in recent memory, if not ever, had no idea this was going on.
Does this not raise an issue to Harper's competence as a leader that seemingly everyone in his office, people he hand picked for the positions knew of this scandal, and yet Harper knew nothing? No, he lied about that he knew Duffy was in trouble and was going to repay the money.
It seems like those are the only two options. He either broke the law to cover-up a misappropriation of funds, OR he was negligent or willfully blind to the events going on directly under his nose.
I guess the question I'm asking is...
Do you think Harper ought to have known what was going on? Not that he necessarily did, but that he should have known?
