Stephen Harper is way off base on this opinion

Prime Minister Stephen Harper says there's nothing wrong with using taxpayers' dollars to finance a bulk-mail campaign against Justin Trudeau.

There is everything wrong with using taxpayer dollars to send BASTARDLY lies in the mail to taxpayers who do not agree with your political views or are not card carrying C.R.A.P members.

A taxpayer who supports the NDP, Liberal, Green or the Bloc Party should not have his/her tax dollar going to Harper's slanderous attack ad's. Election Canada must put their foot down since it was this Prime Minister who ceased the election supplement that each party received  for obtaining a certain number of votes during an election.

Let us not forget that the supplement or rebate was instituted so that the various parties would  have funding based on their popularity with the voter and not based on corporate donations thus putting all parties in a more balanced position. That supplement amounted to 2.00 dollars per vote. It was a minimal burden to the taxpayer and ensured a more honest approach to politics than is exhibited here by Stephen Harper and his Conservatives.
