-- OTTAWA -- Six MPs who ran for the Liberal leadership in 2006 -- including Stephane Dion -- have missed the year-end deadline to repay loans made to their campaigns, the party says.•
As Mr. Mayrand is not allowed to grant further extensions, the candidates are left in a difficult position. If they can raise the money, they must now get permission from a judge to pay off their loans. Otherwise, the outstanding debts will be treated as campaign contributions under the law.
That would prove awkward for a party that has repeatedly hammered the ruling Conservative party for alleged violations of the elections law through "in and out" advertising purchases in the 2006 campaign.
What's that word for...
... you owe someone a shitpile of money... and you don't pay it back?
