I didn't post this for the story itself, but for this gem from the lawyer for the Cons:
$1:
"Your suggestion that the fund raising done by Mr. Duffy for Mr. Calkin's [sic] was somehow wrong and as such Mr. Calkins has engaged in inappropriate behaviour by somehow allowing Mr. Duffy's [sic] to fund raise on his behalf is slander and liablass [sic]," wrote Craig W. Paterson, of Ponoka, Alta., law firm Paterson & Company.
I like that, liablass. I mean this can't be blamed on a spell checker, this is a lawyer who doesn't have the faintest idea how to spell libelous. Good luck with that lawsuit. Paluka Alberta?
