Gimme a break
In reference to Liberal staffers returning to Ottawa for three days pay, Paul Martin said, "There's a lot of stuff that has to be done and they better be working because I'm going to be working and I certainly expect to see them there."
Martin wouldn't be talking about "stuff that has to be done" for the campaign while they're collecting their taxpayer-funded salaries for three days, would he?
I know.
How dare I even suggest that.
Shame on me.

If they do it, which they haven't, yet, I wonder if the Canadian public will even give a crap. They probably will just dismiss it and think that it's too hard to try and understand to even bother realizing what's going on here.
It is illegal for campaigning Min staff to draw a cheque from the gov payroll. Now, if they stop campaigning for three days and return to "work", they are technically no longer in breach of Elections Canada law, which makes it convenient for a governing party who would rather save cash for attack ads and the like in the runup to the vote rather than pay workers over Christmas.
