OTTAWA -- Lawyers are squaring off in Federal Court over whether Stephen Harper's early election call exactly one year ago was illegal.

    The only thing absurd is that people thought Harper was any different from all the other politicans in Ottawa.

    Co-ordinator Duff Conacher said outside court that Harper either broke the law or his 2006 campaign promise to ban snap elections at a prime minister's partisan whim.


    If he broke a campaign promise that's a political, not a legal issue.

    If Democracy Watch wins, Conacher said his group will consider a class-action effort to recoup the $350 million taxpayers spent on the last vote.


    From whom? The taxpayers? :lol:

    From the Tory Party? Rots of Ruck.
