Floor-crosser charged under Elections Act

Over at ElectWajidKhan.ca you'll find a few links pointing to the latest dirt on former Liberal turned Harper's special advisor on the Middle East turned Conservative MP, who is now charged with violating Canada's Elections Act:

Tory MP charged with violating elections act (CBC): The charges [against Wajid Khan] stem from the 2004 election campaign, when Khan ran as a Liberal.

His former riding president and his car dealership, Dufferin Mazda, are also charged with paying for campaign expenses they weren't supposed to cover.

"Some people treat the election financing rules [as] voluntary guidelines," said NDP MP Pat Martin, who filed a complaint last January when he heard there were questions about how Khan financed his election campaign.

"They're not. They're hard fast laws and there should be consequences. If not, it's not fair to any of us."

Khan is scheduled to appear in court in early January.
