MP's flyer blatant waste of taxpayers' money

Last week I received a flyer from some MP from Calgary.
No not the head MP, Stephen Harper -- another MP. He used taxpayer funds to pay for this partisan mailing to me in Halton.
As far as I can tell the Conservatives have spent more money on polling and advertising than any previous government. They claim the budget is tapped out, with no more money available for health care or to provide Ontario with its equal share of the equalization funding or even to fix the Employment Insurance (EI) imbalance.
No, they only have money for this partisan electioneering.
Well I say bring on the election so we can show Harper and his friends first hand how the EI system really works in this country.
