The hole gets deeper

News today: The Harper Government has not only been accused of misleading parliament in regards to funding its anti-crime agenda and buying military aircraft. Today, a draft report shown to the Canadian Press indicates the Tories spent $50-million in one Tory riding during the G8 and G20 conferences. The money was spent on park upgrades, town beautifications, footpath improvements, public toilets, a lovely new gazebo.... in towns 100km way from the G8 host site.
The dropping of the writ prevented the final report from going to parliament (it's expected to do so after the election). I can only hope this leaked release, showing such blatant disregard for the people, taxes and the responsibilities of respectable governance, won't be ignored on May 2.
