The last two batches of Conservaspam haven’t even been from Regina MPs. One sounds like he may be from Quebec, but I haven’t checked.
I collected at least half a dozen of each from the paper/junk mail garbage under the mailboxes. Clearly Conservatives are wasting our money, time, along with paper, and Canada Post resources.

That’s funny about Carol Skelton sending out “communication”.

We continue to get Carol Skelton’s flyers here in Saskatoon. But she’s already said SHE’S RETIRING (like it was a CAREER working for Harper)…

Geez how come the politicians get to do this? If anyone else did this, public or private sector, their butts would be canned in a second!!

Two tiered policy, how wonderful. We now live in an oligarchy.

I got another today (post & pic now up). I’m getting sick of this and increasingly angered. As I said in my post tonight, four mailings/month to 3000 people is $6240 (+GST) and I can think of about 1 million other and BETTER ways this kind of money can be spent.

The first four or five flyers I received from Gerry Ritz were laughable, but the next ten or so identical flyers finally convinced me!

In the next election, I plan to vote for Gerry Ritz as my representative in Wascana.

I included my email on the first one I sent back Devin.

WC, I’m considering collecting my neighbour’s mailouts too and sending those back with more links. One of the spams says “Above the law?” I’m going to ask MP Brian Jean if he thinks he and his party are above the law by sending me junk mail, paid with my tax money, for a purpose that is neither ethical, nor legal.

Here in Winnipeg South (held by a Tory MP), I get non-incumbent mailings from an assortment of Conservatives about once per week.

I’m considering filling one out with my email address as a little experiment. If I get emails from the MP that relate to his/her business as an MP, fine. If I get email from the Conservative Party of Canada, I will file a complaint with elections Canada as well as suing both the MP and the party in the Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench for violating my privacy.

I got another piece of propaganda in the mail yesterday - from a Con MP in St. Catherines! I plan on doing a post on it today. I have already written a snarky comment on the mail-in part and will send it off today.
