The question about whether Helena Guergis could get any more pathetic has been answered…
Guergis is running as an “Independent Conservative” according to her website and although felt returning the election rebate of $35,000 was the right thing to do, she didn’t think returning the Conservative lawn signs was though. You see, one screwed up the Conservatives and one helped her. Principles are a one-way street with Guergis apparently.
I would be curious to find out who actually owns the signs as I’m under the impression that a candidate may not have funds etc during a non-writ period.
I would also like to know if it’s OK for an independent to use the capitalized word “Conservative” in their election advertising as it is very clear about who may and may not use registered political party names.

Embarrass her now. Sue her after the election.

That just screams pathetic

Why don’t the Liberals take up a collection for her so she can buy new signs?
I think Helena Guergis is playing silly games and is coming across as cheap and second-rate.

I’m guessing she wants certain people to still think she is with the CPC?

After each election, campaign assets must be returned to the local EDA, this includes funds, signs, furnishings, office equipment and what not. Why Helena has these in her possession is beyond me as it is a flagarant disrepect of the Elections Canada Act.

That’s my recollection of the rules as well.

It doesn’t matter. Elections Canada only investigates Conservatives – not Liberals or Independents.

Boo Hoo … get over it. What else would the signs be good for with her name plastered all over them? Let’s just add to the land-fills and make her get NEW ones, right? Crybabies.
