Bet you didn’t know that! And how does that make you feel? Perhaps we should start website and express how we feel. Then the media will write it up! And clearly, the taxpayer will pay for it, because it’s about feelings, and liberals are all about the feelings.
Liberals using taxpayer-funded offices for campaign work, memos suggest
Alexander Panetta, Canadian Press
Published: Thursday, June 08, 2006 Article toolsOTTAWA (CP) – A number of Liberals are using taxpayer-funded parliamentary offices to promote party leadership bids and would be breaking federal election laws if they fail to refund the public purse.
Supporters of at least eight of the 11 leadership candidates have used MPs’ offices on Parliament Hill to distribute partisan campaign material, according to e-mails obtained by The Canadian Press.
During parliamentary business hours, offices have churned out invitations on campaign letterhead to meet candidates, attend leadership launches, or get together with campaign staff.
One Liberal MP called the practice unethical and said it runs deeper than just e-mails.
“This is the tip of the iceberg,” he said. “There are interns being used to do (campaign) work, there’s the odd phone call to twist a colleague’s arm.
“But that’s not traceable.”
[…]
Vote liberal.
And by the way, that’s their new slogan:
“The Liberal Party of Canada –
But that’s not traceable”
