And, keeping in mind that one of the defences mounted by Conservative MPs in the House of Commons in the wake of the RCMP raids was that it just wasn't fair, that every party engages in the advertising financing schemes that they did. "The unequal treatment is not justified," said Government House Leader Peter Van Loan. Really?

Come on now David, that's unworthy of you. Conservatives can take a beating when it comes to name-calling and unimportant rhetoric and you know that. When it comes to accusations of criminal activity, the Conservatives are going to stand up and defend themselves. Especially when they believe they didn't do anything wrong, and their accusors are engaging in the same thing. It's the Pot calling the Kettle black. What's good for the Gander is good for the Goose. Choose whatever metaphor you like, but the fact remains; the Conservatives will fight for what they believe, and in the end if found in the wrong, they will accept the verdict and take their medicine. The other fact that remains is even if the other parties are a little more creative with how they do this, the principle is still the same. Ultimately, the courts WILL decide who is right and who is wrong. I'll be very interested to see the headlines if the courts rule in favor of the Conservative Party of Canada. I certainly hope that as much hooplah is made of it as the accusations currently are.
