We know that Elections Canada has raided the Conservative Party HQ and offices, looking for files related to the last election and the level of spend that was allowed or possibly not allowed. I’m sure all that will net out over the course of the next few weeks.

What’s of great concern is the ‘two tier’ attitude that’s being taken by the Conservative government as they formulate a response. CTV and The Toronto Star were attending a private consultation (I’m not sure what else you’d call it), while other mainstream publishers like the CBC, Maclean’s, Canwest and others were blocked out.
