"Due to mistakes that were made by an inexperienced volunteer in filing the Elections Canada return from the last campaign, I appointed a new Official Agent to work with Elections Canada to make any needed amendements to my campaign return.
During the examination we became aware that there were ineligible donations accepted by the Former Official Agent."
The above can be found at Peter Penashue's latest Election Campaign website.
Now let's examine the true character Mr. Penashue wants to portray.
While he and other Conservatives want us all to believe that only Labrador should look at his record - they deliberately forget that he was also a federal Minister representing the entire province. Therefore we should all scrutinize very carefully what this person is all about.
The statement he makes above is not subject of his personal opinion - rather he presents it as fact.
1. Who has determined that a "mistake" was made?
2. Has it been determined that the actions in question were in fact a "mistake"?
3. Who has determined that Mr. Bowers is an "inexperienced volunteer"?
4. What does "inexperienced volunteer mean"?
5. What education and experience does Mr. Bowers have?
6. Through evaluation of Mr. Bowers education and experience - should a reasonably minded person or a legal authority accept that Mr. Bowers did not have the education and experience to be a volunteer?
7. Through evaluation of Mr. Bowers education and experience - should a reasonably minded person or a legal authority come to the conclusion that Mr. Bowers should have reasonably been aware of the governing legislation?
8. Considering the public office that Mr. Penashue was seeking, was successful in achieving, resigned from and is seeking again including being a member of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada - is it acceptable that Mr. Penashue was "unaware" of donations being made to his campaign? Is it acceptable that he did not know or ignored the type of donations being made to his campaign?
9. The term Mr. Penashue uses to describe donations is "ineligible". Considering Corporate donations to political parties and candidates are illegal in Canada - why is the term ineligible used? While it might be somewhat understandable that a personal contribution (which is legal) may sometimes - with enthusiasm be a little more that the eligible amount - there is no question that there is only one class of contributor. There have been reasons given why corporate contributions are illegal - therefore we must respect our democratic protections and ensure that we follow the Elections Act. Why would a man seeking federal public office not fully understand and protect against this type of activity?
10. The fact that Mr. Penashue seeks to hide behind a volunteer that he chose and understates the severity of breaching laws regarding federal elections - certainly demonstrates what he might do if given the privilege of public office again and even more so as a Cabinet Minister. How can one be an advisor of the legislature when one disrespects legislation?
Say no to Peter Penashue and I respectfully ask that you vote ABC.
Mr. Penashue and Mr. Harper must learn that they cannot buy our democracy and rule over instead of serve us - the electorate.

I, too, thought that Peter Penashue was a minster representing the whole of Newfoundland and Labrador but after hearing the Prime Minister and anyone from the Federal Conservative Government taking issue in the Canadian Parliament with Mr. Penashue's problem so as to defend Mr. Penashue, they always refer to Minister Penashue as doing a great job for Labrador and I am sure he is. But I am wondering what is going on there, as Newfoundland and Labrador is one province but it appears to me they are trying to split up our province. Am I the only one who thinks this or are people afraid to bring this to the forefront?
I would be devastated to see our province destroyed by these people who have gotten so much from our raw natural resources, it sure wasn't the province of Newfoundland and Labrador that thrived economically from the riches contained within our province. If we had become the primary beneficiary of our natural resources, we could have had streets paved with Gold since there are Tens of Billions of dollars migrating from here each year in the form of Raw Natural Resources that enriches the other provinces and Nations' of the World economies.
Also I want to say here that Mr. Penashue's problem , no doubt, has happened many times before in Ottawa, but he is the scapegoat for this particular fallibility and I don't agree with that. I was so happy that he became the representative of not only his people, the Innu, but our whole province and I would like to see that continue.
I recommend everyone read Greg Malone's Book "Don't Tell the Newfoundlanders' if they want to read about some of the crimes that have been committed against the province of Newfoundland and Labrador by the Ottawa Government throughout the past 64 years and before that for hundreds of years under England's rule and tyrany.
We have lost all of our Raw Natural Resources to Canada and the World, namely Fish, Hydroelectric Energy for Quebec' economy, Iron Ore for the total manufacturing industry of Canada, Nickel Ore for the survival of Sudbury, Ontario and Thompson, Manitoba, other Minerals, Oil, etc. etc.
What could we have amounted to economically in Newfoundland and Labrador had those Raw Natural Resources been processed and manufactured in Newfoundland and Labrador, given we, not only, had the raw natural resources but the energy also to do the processing and manufacturing and the perfect strategic location situated on all points of the Atlantic Trade routes to export our produced products.
England and Ottawa let us believe we had nothing and our location was not good. We not only had a mother lode of natural resources but we had the best location in the whole of Canada, the whole Atlantic Ocean and Coastline and Air Space which panned out to be the most strategic points in North America during the Second World War and EVER SINCE.
