To run an un-open, un-campaign, do the the following:
- screen attendees and demand them to sign waivers to attend your rally during an election > Harper’s campaign events to be by invitation only
- instruct your Party's candidates NOT to attend All-Party Debates or speak to the media > Tory candidates told to avoid debates, media during campaign
- take advantage of Scouts in uniform for photo-ops because everyone else was screened out (see #1) > Scouts Canada says B.C. event with Harper broke non-partisan policy
- Search far and wide for a handful of veterans willing to be in your commercial, even though $1 billion in funds earmarked for veterans affairs went unspent > Tories looking for vets to sing Stephen Harper's praises in campaign ads
- Ensure to fill campaign events with paid ex-vets to 'handle' anyone not properly screened (see #1) > Conservatives bring in ex-soldiers for extra security on Harper's campaign
