Conservative Party sponsors Pierre Bourque

Is there really anything wrong with the Conservative Party of Canada choosing to sponsor a stock car driver? If it were the Government of Canada choosing to sponsor Pierre Bourque, that would be a more serious charge. Or if the Conservative Party were paying the sponsorship with taxpayer dollars, that would be wrong as well.

Since nobody has seen any evidence of wrong-doing yet, I can't really complain or have a problem with the CPC choosing to puts its logo on a stock car, in an attempt to advertise its brand to potential voters.

The opposition is crying that this is hypocritical, since the government claims to care about the environment, and these cars, like all cars, contribute greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The Liberal Party only wishes it had the financial capital to advertise its brand in these unique ways, but even if it did, it would probably just use taxpayer money to pay for the sponsorship anyway, because being a Liberal, and being a Canadian are one in the same...right? Oh, wait...thats not quite right.
