Why were they banned in the first place if there is nothing wrong with them?

This is before my time for sure. If the fund was grandfathered in the 70's then I have no idea. I couldn't say why it banned, but the point is that it was grandfathered, and frankly if the Liberals or NDP had done the same they would have the same trust today. Maybe the Socreds had one?
It seems like a red herring though. I mean $8000 is nothing. If you have a competitive constituency you blow through that before you even rent an office for a campaign. Like I said in my prior post, the members ought to be more concerned with how the PCs managed to lose money in a non-election year, and even more concerned with the magnitude of those losses without an election to contend.
