OK, another email this morning from my MPs assistant, this one explaining why we might be getting propaganda mailings from MPs not of our riding:
"In order for the party to put out a mass-mailing across the country they must enlist the names of each of their MPs as they are only entitled to send out a maximum of 10% of each MP's total constituency in one mailing. For example, if an MP has 25,000 people living in his riding, then he can only send a mailing out to 2,500 people. So, if each MP in the Conservative caucus offers their printing allocation to the Party, then there name is added to the print material, but the material can end up anywhere in the country."
Ah-ha! This explains it. I'd wondered if it had something to do with budgeting. Still, I am going to keep sending back the mailers with snarky responses on them, just because I can and it's free.
Thanks to Mr. Atamanenko's assistant for replying to my emails and explaining things so well. It pays to open your mouth and ask questions sometimes, doesn't it?

ROFL I love that idea.
Have just started mailing back the ads for account cheques (whatever those are) and other junk that the banks send out. Am sending it right back to them. Sick of shredding...let them do it.
Same with your comments--serves them right! And it'd make you feel good to get stuff off of your chest. Go for it, WC!
Yes it does!! And it is very good that they got back to you with some answers. Really.
