I'm only defending this because its totally legal. If you want my true opinion of electoral finance and disclosure, its a complete joke. But that is a whole other issue and whole other discussion. You seem to be against this purely on the basis that its the PCs. Where was this outrage when Harper and the federal CPC had the same fund come to light last spring?

They were banned for a reason, likely due to lack of transparency and the party who banned them exempted their own trust. I don't know how you think this is okay, material amounts or otherwise.

I don't necessarily think its OK. I just don't know enough about it to really say. I don't why it was outlawed, but I do know that it was grandfathered. If the arrangement was so terrible and devious, why was it allowed to continue? If it was such an amazing vehicle that provided so much of a benefit, why didn't any other party hold one?
