Why Is A Saskatchewan Conservative MP Sending Mailouts To People In Newfoundland?
The Yorkton-Melville federal riding is in Saskatchewan. Their Conservative Member of Parliament, Garry Breitkreuz, is sending taxpayer funded material to residents of St. John's Newfoundland. Folks in St. John's are wondering ... 'wassup with that'?

A rhetorical question I presume because the answer is obvious. The “Harper Government” smells an election in the fall and is once again abusing the MPs mailing and printing privileges to blanket certain ridings with partisan literature at the publics expense. After all they got away with it last time, there were no consequences for the abuse of the 10%ers rules last time so why would they not do it again?

I live in Edmonton-Centre, and I get mail outs at taxpayer expense from Liberals in other provinces including Hedy Fry, and Scott Brison.

Quite a common scummy thing the Cons. do. Apparently the NDP and Liberals have been caught doing it as well.
