From Stephen Taylor's blog, the "Donald Affadavit" is an affadavit sworn by Conservative political operations officer Geoff Donald in October 2007, as part of the civil proceedings between the Conservative Party and Elections Canada.

In it, Mr. Donald detailed cases he believed would illustrate that there are three different aspects of activities, claimed to be common practices of all political parties, but for which Elections Canada is targetting only the Conservative Party. The three activities are: (i) grouped ad buys with "national" content, arranged by national campaign staff, (ii) reciprocal transfers of funds between the central and local campaigns or electoral district associations (EDAs), and (iii) unidentified advertising and publicity line items in candidate election expense returns. The cases spanned both the 2004 and 2006 General Elections.

There are a lot of names and ridings in that affadavit, which are proving time-consuming to document here in one sitting. Thus, first I offer the "Ad Buys". Tomorrow, I'll round things out with the "Transfers" and "Unidentified advertising".

As with the Conservative list of yesterday, clicking on the riding name will take you to the riding profile page (financial metrics pane) for that riding.
