I Shaved My Head When Robert Stanfield Died

"...because Canadian politics is a baffling mystery that, when explained, still doesn't make sense, and has no bearing on anything." -Commenter on a Diefenbaker YTMND I made

Anti Government nutbar David Orchard to sue the exhalted Stephen Harper and his vehicle of Canadian Purity:

This came to me in an e-mail while I was hammered. This is a dishonourable way to treat a political opponent and amounts to blackmail. I dare the Conservative Party to sue me for that statemenrt given the fact that the incredibly classy Willaim MacBeatth has already accused my campaign of being a Liberal plant. Bring it on you hucksters!

Dear Friends,
David Orchard will be back in court this week, this time for refusing to sign a release demanded by the Conservative Party in exchange for returning the donations it owes him from his leadership campaign in 2003.
The Conservative Party has acknowledged that it owes the monies, ca $70,000 -- $55,000 in individual donations to David Orchard’s leadership campaign and $15,000 refundable portion of his candidate deposit plus now interest and legal costs. The Conservative Party is refusing to return them unless David signs a release promising not to sue Peter MacKay or the Conservative Party for anything they did leading up to the merger. The Conservative Party has gone to court to ask that Orchard be forced to accept this sweeping release which denies him his legal and constitutional rights on other matters, not related to the donations.
For those of you in area who can, we hope that you will plan to support David with your presence at this trial which will take place Tuesday, January 31, 10: 00 am. EST in Superior Court, 393 University Ave. Toronto (between Dundas and Queen streets on the East side of University Avenue). We do not know the actual courtroom that the trial takes place in so you will have to go up to the 10th floor of the Superior Court building to check the board for the courtroom number that will be assigned to us. The trial should be listed as "The Conservative Party vs David Orchard." Do not hesitate to ask court officials for help if you need it in order to find the courtroom.
I am attaching (below) a letter by Marjaleena Repo outlining the history to this case. You can also view the legal documents on our site: www.davidorchard.com
Sincerely,
Grant Orchard tel: 416-778-7027 fax: 416-778-6348 grantorchard@bellnet.ca
