The Angus Standard on Election Rules

My column this week on Loonie Politics looks at the recently revelation that Charlie Angus' official agent broke elections rules in the 2011 campaign, and the subsequent concern that this was really no big deal and he'd rather not have a crackdown to scare off volunteers. Because this kind of thing harkens back to the Ted Opitz trial at the Supreme Court, I felt it apropos to look at the two together, and this attitude among some MPs that apparently breaking Elections Canada rules are no big deal, when in fact it is.
