After weeks of not receiving any Con propaganda in my mail (previously blogged about here), yesterday, I had this fine example awaiting me in my mailbox.
This one slags the Liberal carbon tax plan, touting it as "Dion's Tax on Everything" with the question "will you be tricked into paying more?" tacked on to the end.
The mailing blatently accuses Liberal leader Stephane Dion of tricking Canadians with his carbon tax plan.
The mail-in portion of the paper includes a fake ballot for people to "vote" on who they think is on the right track with taxes. As you can see by the picture I included, I wrote a snarky response on it and will mail it in today, postage paid.
Because great minds think alike, my friend Saskboy has a post up about this very issue today. He is also sending in his mail-in portion, with a link to the post on his blog.
My latest piece of mailbox spam comes courtesy of Rick Dykstra, Conservative MP for St. Catharines - a town in southern Ontario near Niagara Falls.
My MP, Alex Atamanenko, appears to have gotten us in the boonies yet another much-needed passport clinic this summer, one which I plan on taking part in. This is what an MP should be doing for his constituents, not trying to pester people in far away ridings with mailbox spam.

Reappearance of Con Propaganda

I've forgotten... The Tories ARE the government now, right? I mean, they aren't SUPPOSE to be campaigning, right?
I wonder when they'll realise that this seems kinda dumb when they are in power... and perhaps act like a government... for the brief time they will hopefully only be left there for.

That's particularly interesting, WC. Guess the HarperCrits have figured they need to find places to spend all their cash before an election is called. Wouldn't want those spending limits to kick in too soon, now would they?
Makes me appreciate Bill 42, the Spring 2008 amendment to the BC Elections Act, which reduces the allowable pre-writ spending period - for candidates, parties, and third parties - to within 60 days prior to an election.
If I get this stuff, I'm sending them ALL my junk mail back.....
