Election spending double standard

Federally, Elections Canada continues to go after the Conservatives for election spending, even after losing a major decision in a court (currently under appeal). Yet how many failed Liberal leadership candidates still haven't paid back their loans? How many more chances are they going to get?
Seems like a double standard - kind of like here in Manitoba.
Elections Manitoba went hard after Vic Toews for a provincial election spending issue, but when it came to the NDP, the whole issue was almost glossed over. And there are still issues surrounding this that the NDP and Elections Manitoba are not speaking to.
Kind of makes you wonder why it appears there is a double standard?
