Last time around, Volpe had campaign contributions from 5 family members, three from the children in the same family. Now, you know that campaign contributions from one person are limited to $1000.
Sleazy way to get around the law.

This fine is in relation to his most recent "irregularities". ... Joe Volpe's campaign is alleged to have paid the membership fees of new party recruits
In September 2005, it was reported that Volpe had claimed $10,891.15 in meal and transportation expenses over an eleven-month period.[72] Opposition MPs argued that this figure was excessive, and noted that Volpe's meal expenses were more than three times higher than his predecessor as Immigration Minister, Judy Sgro, during the same period a year earlier.
On October 15, 2006, the Toronto Star reported that the Career Foundation, a federally-funded charity serving the unemployed, had paid seven of its clients to work on Volpe's leadership campaign. The Foundation is headquartered in Volpe's Eglinton—Lawrence riding and fell under his purview during his tenure as Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development.

The Toronto Star reported Saturday that the Volpe camp had allegedly paid the $10 membership fee for at least nine party members it signed up in Montreal. The report also alleged that two new Liberal members signed up in Montreal were dead and several had been signed up without their knowledge.
Meanwhile, a complaint was filed Monday with the Liberal party alleging that 60 members were signed up improperly by Ignatieff's camp in two Toronto-area ridings -- including one man in Ignatieff's constituency said to have died two years ago.

LOVE the beaver videos. As for the campaign dirty tricks, not so much.
Oh wow! That is so amazing! I've never seen a beaver close up in the wild. They're usually so shy and private. It's hard to believe he got so close. I'm surprised the beavers are building their house so close to the houses. Thanks for letting us see this. I have to go get my husband and show this to him.
