Re: Apparently the sky was not the Liberal limit
by

Does the Elections Act not put a donation limit on the entire leadership race so that no one person could donate more than $5,400 for the entire event? A new calendar year does not create the opportunity to a donor who had already donated the maximum.
Did Dion not donate anything to his own campaign prior? A close examination of the donor's lists should be made by Elections Canada so that they can prove they will pursue all political parties equally.
Even in the original "auction" scheme, if they Liberals were right and the purchase price of an auction item was not a donation, the donation was made by the donor of the item and it's value is determined by the amount paid for it.
So Dion auctioning a lunch with himself for $1200 is a donation from Dion and violates his whole year's donation limit. Too bad they didn't go forward with this one.
