Khan in trouble for overspending?

UPDATE II: CTV is reporting that no actual charges have been laid as of this moment. While these matters are being dealt with, Mr. Khan has chosen to step aside and withdraw from the Conservative caucus. Good move, and I respect him for doing so promptly. [END UPDATE]


This one's rather interesting, in that it's embarrasing to both the Tories and the Liberals... the Tories, because he's currently a Tory MP, and the Liberals, because he allegedly committed the offences while he was a Liberal.

As all individuals, he's entitled to due process, and we'll see how this plays out... if he's guilty, then he has to face the music, like everyone else. But as the Globe & Mail is careful to stress, "None of the allegations have been proven in court."

Well, he seems like a nice guy to me...

Of course, I could tell everyone to give him a break, and make some crack about his being a recovering addict and all... I mean, the guy's only been clean for the last eleven months... give him time to make a full recovery. ;-)

UPDATE: Props to Wajid... he has withdrawn from the Conservative caucus, I'm assuming until the charges are dealt with. Kudos to him for that. Quick, immediate, and no bluster or evasion.

Thanks Wajid, and here's hoping all this gets cleared up quickly.
