Liberals refuse to investigate questionable corporate donations. World shocked.

Shocked.  Just shocked I tell you. 

Liberals impose a party donation cap of $5400 on Canadians and companies, then Liberals accept big drug company cash as funneled through the children of the obviously VERY liberal executives of the big drug companies.  And the Liberal Party doesn’t see anything wrong with that. 

Those rules were for US, silly!  Not Liberals! 

They’re liberals!  How many times do I have to tell you?  Liberals live by a completely different standard and set of rules than the rest of us. 

They’re progressive! 

Liberals refuse to investigate Volpe donations

CAMPBELL CLARK AND JANE TABER
Globe and Mail Update

OTTAWA — The national Liberal Party said yesterday it has no reason to investigate donations to leadership candidate Joe Volpe from current and former executives of a generic drug firm and their relatives, but some Liberal MPs said they have qualms about accepting money from minors.

Mr. Volpe has received donations of $5,400 each from five current and former executives of Apotex Inc. and 15 of their relatives, including some who are under 18.

Companies are banned by law from donating money to a federal leadership campaign and individuals cannot donate more than $5,400. The law also prohibits individuals from donating money on behalf of someone else.

While other parties criticized the donations, national director Steven MacKinnon said the Liberal Party has not made any inquiries with the donors.

“Elections Canada regulates contributions to leadership candidates. The Liberal Party does not,” Mr. MacKinnon said. […]

Perhaps MacKinnon is worried about being “very vexatious and prickly”!
