Ed Stelmach is, yet again<\/a>, in trouble for unethical donations <\/a>– this time, from a landfill site that donated $10,000 to Stelmach’s leadership campaign. Now, Ed did return the donation…six months after he received it and three months after winning the PC leadership. And in fairness, by this government’s standards, that certainly qualifies as “rapid response”. <\/p>\n

Now, if you’re saying I’m being too partisan and shouldn’t be so hard on Ed Stelmach<\/a>, I’ll turn to someone far more impartial than myself. A man called “Honest Ed” by many:<\/p>\n
