Good for him

Joe Volpe has returned the money from donors who were under 18. It is the right thing to do. But the damage has been done.

Any candidate should be curious when half of his funds from a few surnames. How hard is it to check into?

Trying to brazen it out was even more hapless:

Mr. Volpe’s national campaign co-ordinator, Scarborough MP Jim Karygiannis, insisted that nothing was wrong with the donations from 11-year-olds, and noted that it is legal for children of any age to donate to an election campaign.Mr. Volpe’s spokesman, Corey Hobbs, said Monday that all the donations are in full compliance with the law, and that none will be returned - G&M

Maybe he met with Scott Brison overnight to decide how much to send back. That almost worked for the Party!

Fergy:

He says he’s returning the money. Big difference. This is only because he got caught. Sorry doing the right thing would have meant not accepting the money in the first place. Now he may not be the one actually accepting the donations maybe a campaign volunteer did, but that just goes to show you the mentality of those working to relect the Libranos back to power.

On second thought, there is no way that Apotex would be involved in donating that amount unless they got to talk to “the man”.

Surecure:

I’m sorry, but he’s not doing enough. If he is returning the money that was donated in the children’s name — thus inferring the parents may have improperly funneled the money through them — then he should be returning the donations that the parents made as well. After all, if the inference is that the donation was improper, then shouldn’t he also be declining donations from the party who actually improperly funneled the money to begin with?

Old Jute:

Stick a fork in him and turn him over — he’s done.

MrEd:

The next natural step for him and the rest of his ilk (on their campaign contributions list) is to start patrolling grave yards if they aren’t already and to begin pulling the names off Grave Stones… That falls within the bounds of what these blood suckers are capable of…

So again we have a Liberal sellecting what the punishment should be after being caught in a quasi Election fraud case.

Did they learn anything from the Gomery inquiry?
