I see the Toronto Star is trying to spin this as if it was something terrible and exclusive to the Conservatives.
Oh, come on. So when a minister has government business, flies to the place where that is, and, if there's time afterwards, attends to nearby party business, so what? Only a left-wing sophist would claim that the taxpayers are therefore somehow donating their money to the party just because they paid for the government business trip which had, as a happy coincidence, some party business at the same place and proximate in terms of time.
The same amount of money gets spent by taxpayers whether there's party business or not.
Nothing has been proven otherwise.
Besides, I don't recall the Toronto Star going after the Liberal Party so overzealously as it goes after the Tories.
Where's the proof that wrong was done? There's none. Just questions and implications.
Besides, what is the Toronto Star doing to find out what happened to the nine billion dollars that were mysteriously laundered through the mysterious, secretive, unti-recently-untouchable Liberal "Foundations"? What's the Toronto Star doing to discover Liberal wrongdoing, past and present?
The Toronto Star went after Reform, the Canadian Alliance and the Conservatives when they were just the Opposition, while essentially giving the Liberals a free ride and a gazillion stay-out-of-jail passes.
There's so many questions to be asked, so many implications to suggest, about the Liberals, the New Democrats and the Bloc. Why focus on only the Conservatives, whether in or out of power?
Could it be that the Toronto Star is nothing more than a glorified, over-fancified, pretentious hard-left on-the-toilet-reader?
