apologies BC. You don’t need this kind of pig slop coming over the border.

That's not at all surprising

The Tyee is one of Canada’s best, if not the best investigative journalism papers!
It’s not a matter of left and right. These hard working professionals are giving us TRUTH!

We have to push Elections Canada to change the rules here.

Pronto.

WCP reported spending $1,729 on online ads during the pre-campaign period and over $15k during the campaign

WCP's report to Elections BC lists 10 donations of more than $250, including $1,450 from Stockwell Day, which apparently came in after the election #bcpoli

So is Day's donation a sponsorship contribution (not a political contribution)?

The group also reported receiving 15 donations of $250 or less, totalling $1,464.99

West Coast Proud reported a total of $15,043.271 in contributions #bcpoli
