Did ALL Con candidates have to post $1000 bond?
Yesterday it was revealed that not only is the process to select Contempt Party candidates rigorously controled by the ex-PMO politburo, but that candidates also have to post a $1000. *good behaviour*, held in trust until the next federal election. Yes, you read that correctly - until the next federal election. One wonders: did Contempt leader Harper have to post this bond too? Or does it suffice that his physician provided an affidavit that Stevie Peevie is taking his mood-control meds regularly? How about Rob Anders? I'd bet nobody made the guy Harper describes as "as a true reformer and a true conservative" post that bond. So ... is there also a detailed pledge of *good behaviour*, a legal document that candidates must sign when they hand over their $1000? What's in it? No adultery, no necrophilia, no cannibalism, church attendance every Sunday ... what exactly must candidates do, or avoid doing to get their bond money back? It sure would be fun to get a copy of that document. Just saying.

Another grand photo, dBO!
And yes, what exactly is 'good behaviour' to this bunch of lying, cheating, contemptuous yahoos?
$1000 really doesn't sound like a very large bond to ensure anything with. I'm a student and I could still (with some discomfort) cover that if I really wanted to.
You two are on fire with this election. The Contempt Party just keeps looking sleazier and criminal. Brava on the great reportage!
And that photo, dBO - priceless.
Another question: does the Contempt Party return that $1000 with interest accrued to the defeated and no longer running candidate?
There's a nice little $308,000. nest egg sitting there, if everyone posts the bond.
If someone defaults on their bond, does it then become a political donation, meaning we the taxpayer will have to subsidize it.
