The Corporate Friends of Mr.Harper

Below is the list of Corporate donors to Harpers Leadership campaign. The full document of donors of $200 or more can be found here. A tip o the blog to Politicagrll

I have bolded those I find interesting such as;

The Asper media chain, CanWest which just came out in favour of the Conservatives and Harper this election. David Asper also personally donated $200 to Harpers Leadership campaign. David Asper, Steve Posen endorse Conservatives

Peter Kent, St. Paul's Conservative candidate, announces key supporters at Big Tent event

Key Liberals defect and join others in supporting Peter Kent, highlighting his big tent campaign

 Also joining Peter Kent's Big Tent was the Chairman of the National Post,
David Asper. David Asper and his family have been well-known for their past
support for the Liberal Party. In his statement, Mr. Asper said in a prepared
letter of recommendation that, "the need for a man of Peter's integrity became
even more clear to me after hearing the Prime Minister say during the last
English language debate that 'we've got to have a more intelligent debate.
Enough is enough: this idea of drive-by smears doesn't make it true', and then
the next day launch a series of Liberal advertisements that are some of the
most insulting, base attack ads that I have ever seen. The Prime Minister is
correct. Enough is enough. It's time for a change and Peter Kent is someone
who represents not only change itself, but change for the better."

Bell Canada was another big donor. Ironic since the Blogging Tory's have been denouncing Bell/BCE/Bell Global Media as a Liberal front and which I blogged was no such thing. Much Ado About BCE

Encana is the largest gas distribution company in North America, and out going President Gwyn Morgan has been touted to replace Ralph Klein as CEO of Alberta.

One of the interesting ones of is Rio Can Real Estate Investment Trust. Income Trust. Remember them. They pay no taxes, and Monte Solberg and the Conservatives lobbied for them this past six months. CanWest slams Ottawa over handling of trusts
