More Conservative partisan advertising

I'm sure many residents of Eglinton-Lawrence are getting rather tired of receiving mailings from out-of-riding Conservative MP's -- an open abuse of the spirit of the rules on communications from our elected officials. We've certainly been receiving a string of complaints from local residents who are unhappy that their tax dollars are being used for a blatantly partisan advertising spree on behalf of an unelected Conservative candidate.

The latest mailing seems especially pandering and is generating some wider attention:

One wonders if Eglinton-Lawrence Conservative candidate Joe Oliver will demonstrate some integrity by denouncing this unending stream of junk mail pouring into our riding. Having seen Mr. Oliver on the campaign trail in the last campaign, he certainly came across as a decent sort -- although it's hard to know what any of his personal opinions are given the central party boilerplate that dominates his website. Perhaps he should ask the PMO for some talking points on how to square his party's talk of fiscal responsibility with this sort of pork-barrel waste.
