   One way is to bleat anti-Palestine sentiments throughout the year and   
   then have the Prime Minister attend an all-Jewish fundraising affair.   
      
   The other way is to disguise corporate donations (illegal) as personal   
   donations.   
      
   This is how one of Harper's MPs did it - and you can bet your life so   
   did hundreds of other corporations across this country.   
   Harper & his Cons didn't win the election.  They STOLE it by breaking   
   election laws and interfering with voters on election day.

   Election agency searches business of Dean Del Mastro's cousin   
   Deltro Electric, owned by David Del Mastro, cousin of Peterborough MP,   
   searched last October   
      
      
   Elections Canada investigators got a search warrant last October for   
   Deltro Electric, the business belonging to the cousin of Peterborough MP   
   Dean Del Mastro, over allegations of wrongful contributions to Del   
   Mastro's campaign.	   
      
   Elections Canada investigators in October searched Deltro Electric, the   
   business belonging to the cousin of Peterborough MP Dean Del Mastro,   
   over allegations of wrongful contributions to Del Mastro's election   
   campaign.   
      
   A warrant filed in Ottawa court in October authorized Elections Canada   
   investigators to search the business of David Del Mastro over   
   allegations he paid employees to contribute to his cousin's 2008 campaign.   
      
   The search was authorized for Oct. 9, 2013, to gather financial records   
   and other evidence related to allegations David Del Mastro gave $50 to   
   22 people and reimbursed them for $1,000 contributions to his cousin's   
   election campaign, according to the search warrant.   
      
   Dean Del Mastro, who resigned from the Conservative caucus after being   
   charged with election spending breaches in the same campaign, is not the   
   subject of the warrant.   
      
   He has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and said he ran a clean campaign.   
      
   Regarding the allegations about his cousin, The Canadian Press reported   
   last June that the MP told reporters he didn’t know what they were   
   talking about and said he sees many “silly stories” every day.   
      
      
   David Del Mastro denies allegations   
      
      
   David Del Mastro's lawyer said his client "denies participating in any   
   breaches of the Elections Act."   
      
   "Given the relatively small amounts of monies involved in the   
   investigation, it is troubling that Elections Canada continues to spend   
   significant taxpayer resources in 2014 investigating an election   
   financing matter from 2008,” Scott Fenton said in an email to CBC News.   
      
   The court documents were supposed to have been publicly available in   
   November, the Ottawa Citizen newspaper reported, but "procedural   
   complications" blocked the release. The newspaper's lawyer secured the   
   release of the documents on Monday.   
      
   None of the allegations contained in the court documents, including an   
   information to obtain (ITO) a search warrant, have been tested in court.   
   No charges have been laid in connection with the investigation into the   
   alleged contributions.   
      
   Elections Canada investigator Ron Lamothe writes in the documents that   
   he is investigating whether David Del Mastro paid 22 people, including   
   employees of Deltro Electric, $50 to donate to Dean Del Mastro's 2008   
   election campaign.   
      
   Those who made a $1,000 federal political donation were also eligible   
   for a $558 refund on their federal income taxes.   <<==========  !!   
      
   David Del Mastro is alleged to have funded those $22,000 in donations.   
   It is illegal under the Canada Elections Act for one person to   
   contribute more than the maximum legal amount to a candidate, which at   
   the time was $1,100. It is also illegal to hide the source of a   
   contribution.   
      
   The spending limit for Peterborough in 2008 was $92,566.79.   
      
   Lamothe says in the documents that he believes Deltro Electric and David   
   Del Mastro "did knowingly circumvent, or attempt to circumvent," the law   
   prohibiting contributions over the limit.   
      
   Lamothe first became aware of the allegations after reports in the   
   Ottawa Citizen and Postmedia, and phoned David Del Mastro on Aug. 1,   
   2012, to ask to see his financial records and interview some staff, he   
   says in the court records.   
      
   Del Mastro told him "I've done nothing wrong," and referred Lamothe to   
   his lawyer, Lamothe writes in the documents. After an initial call from   
   Fenton on Aug. 3, 2012, Lamothe writes that he called Fenton again on   
   Oct. 19, and got a return call three days later saying Del Mastro would   
   not co-operate with the investigation, provide a statement or allow   
   access to company records or staff.   
      
   The names of the contributors are all blacked out in the court   
   documents, which were supposed to be sealed until Feb. 9, 2014. Lamothe   
   wrote in the application for the search warrant that the four-month   
   sealing order would "provide sufficient time to review the items seized   
   for evidence [to] be inspected and documented, and charges laid."
