They’ll keep spending until we learn to love them iPolitics Insight

Canada has an ad scandal back on its hands — and not just the recent charges against 80 year-old Jacques Corriveau after an 11-year RCMP investigation. This time it’s Stephen Harper helping himself to public dollars in a truly offensive fashion.

The scam is as simple as it is brazen: Harper has spent hundreds of millions of taxpayers’ dollars promoting his government. Often, it’s the highly partisan stuff that should be paid for by the Conservative party. He’s using public money for political gain — and doing it in a time of cutbacks.

The prime minister’s excuse for this raid on the public purse — like his account of the Wright/Duffy affair — depends on the day you ask him.
