How much sense does this make? The loan is legal, but may be illegal?
At the time, candidates were legally prohibited from accepting more than $1,000 in corporate donations and could personally donate no more than $5,000 to their own campaigns.
They could legally take out loans but Liberal officials say Khan's loans could be deemed illegal contributions if his former Liberal association, now officially defunct and deeply in debt, is unable to repay them.
And now this liberal riding associations problem is now Prime Minister Harpers problem?
But the Liberals insist they too had no inkling of the problems until this week. They are setting up a new Liberal association in the riding, which won't be burdened by the debts piled up under Khan.
"Mr. Harper has welcomed Wajid Khan and all the key players (in his former riding association) so they're his problems now," said Guarnieri.
Makes pefect sense to me. The libs are broke. Plain and simple.

How can they set up a "new" riding association, just like that? What, the debt just magically goes away? WTF?
I really don't understand any of this. It all lacks common sense and logic. Without these I get terrably lost... it's my biggest downfall....
