Earlier, Public Eye reported Billy Cunningham had gotten into a spot of trouble with federal Opposition leader Stephen Harper's office. In a news release, the leader's office demanded to know who had authorized the senior Liberal aide to speak at a downtown Vancouver rally attended by former members of a terrorist group banned in Canada. But before Mr. Harper and his staffers get too self-righteous about the issue (oops...too late), they might want to get in touch with rally coordinator Sukhpreet Singh Heir. In an interview with Public Eye, Mr. Heir said, "before the merger I was active in the PC party. And, after that, I've been involved in organizing (for the Conservatives) for the election."
