V for Vendetta
Can't control the media - then bypass them. I blogged about how the press should have boycotted Mr. H.s deign-to-speak-to-you press conference at the press theatre and got panned. Now look at what he is planning http://www.thestar.com/News/article/266854. A few thoughts: why does Harper need so much security, all our previous PM's went among the people - it's just more of the bs - using security blah blah to justify an increasingly authoritarian state. Will the press let this one go as well and dutifully come when they are called and use his feed when they are told? Will he next get his own channel so that he deliver his edicts anytime and any way he wants?
A whole bunch of cliches come to mind: 1984, slippery slope, or is it just that he wants to "harmonize" his approach to media with that of Mr. Bush as part of the 'integration by stealth' project.
To help make my point, the North American Forum apparently held their annual meeting in Mexico last week and there has been a complete media blackout.

What are the donation rules you are trying to know? I read your comments on Cherniak's blog...
I have been trying to find out about donation limits. These are my questions:
is the limit $1100 per year?
what if an election is called, can you donate any additional amounts then?
does attending a fundraising event like a dinner constitute a donation?
what is the youngest a person can be to make a donation?
if you pay for some of a local candidate's expenses, like travel, is that a donation?
1) The limit is $1100 per year, at least for 2007. It may be revised in 2008, but that is all up to Elections Canada
2)No.
3)Yes, if you paid for a ticket, that constitute a donation.
4)The LPC Website said 18 years old.
5)Yes. It's an in-kind donation, meaning you provided the candidate with something else than money, but it's worth something.

Hope this helps.
