Harper on TSN - Illegal Campaign Contribution?

Now I am studying election financing so I'm looking for any legal opinions out there.

Have you noticed Harper's little "Go Canada" ad provided by TSN? Have past Prime Ministers done this?

Just curious, does this break the Election Finances Act? Was TSN giving the Conservative Party and Stephen Harper free advertising, thus an in-kind contribution from a corporation? This is now illegal in Canada thanks to Chretien and Harper's reform bills.

Weigh in if you have any thoughts.

    Here's my thought:

    Prime Minister wishes all the best to the Canadian Junior Hockey team as they go for gold.

    You worry about election laws as they relate to Harper's message because you're an idiot and have nothing better to do with your time.

    Is this anonymous "idiot" the same person who's been all over the blogs today calling people "idiots"?

    Grow up and ... get a name.

    I wasn't saying he should wish the Canadian team well. I'm asking a legal question about this.

    I guess I shouldn't expect some maturity from people.
