Wednesdays with @Kady replay: The Senate expense audit pile-on
Plus: Elections Canada fingers more Tory campaign expense filings, for Glover and Bezan

Fortunately blogger Kady O'Malley is around to help us keep them all straight: the ones that have started,the ones that are on holdand theones that could also spread to the House of Commons. Which have sharp teeth? Which areconvenient symbolism? We'll try to teaseeverything out, with an eye to explaininghow much canrealistically unfold before everything pauses for the summer recess. (Hint: very little)

Elections Canada has snagged two more MPs in aelection expense dispute: Manitoba Tories Shelley Glover and James Bezan. Both are challenging the agency's interpretation of the rules, but if authorities don't come to see things their way they could be suspended from the House of Commons until they comply.
