Flyergate by Tories starts a Committee to RE Elect the Primeminister

When does an innocent ten percent flyer become a guilty piece of government propaganda literature, one could ask, I would answer when that guilty literature and innocent flyer are both sent one the poor taxpayers dollar through a rich politicians agenda.

Right from the very top, I want to say we have seen this kind of franking by all parties across the spectrum, every kind of government is guilty of it, so there is no innocence within politics today. That now said, carpetbombing the whole ridings with six flyers straight is enough to campaign for, campaign towards an end of taxpayer paid franking, which originally was a privilege given to our Parliament by the national postal service. But with privilege comes responsibility, one the current Tory government has lost by insourcing their constitutents fake votes and real inquires to a Conservative Research Group of Government Caucus Services, which must be the Tory backroom for this Conservative government, making one wonder just what the responses and replies from constituents of Grey-Bruce-Owen Sound just really go towards anyhow, which I believe we can likely extrapolate times 308 as it must be happening in every riding across the Dominion!

In this blitz, the environment, carbon tax, military spending, drug crimes, tax freedom day and Senate reform even the parliamentary stylings of the Liberal Opposition Leader all have become literal topics du jour by the federal Tories, as the flyers actually seemed to come in from Ottawa day after day, as though it were already an election with each of these being the party's advertising. Privacy is also quite the concern, as we come from a riding of demogrphic extremes, with elderly seniors and young students who may not know just who is asking or who is getting their mock vote for one of the four parties federal on the back of these frankers, now knowing just who they are going to be or intending to be voting for in the next election. Electioneering seems to be the primary cause, with Harper and the federal Tories campaigning towards a fixed election date they know will happen, though our current one week barrage was done by mistake, the Member of Parliament Larry Miller says they were meant to be released quarterly throughout the year like the update booklet, making the distribution glitch more about the exact time and less about the actual waste created by it.

I personally have been against franking since I knew of the procedure, however I understand it to be a way of life and death in politics, yet this recent development of preelection shock and awe franking irks not just myself, but I am sure others as well, that an inside team we shall just call the Conservative Tory Committee to Reelect the Prime Minister hijacks the method all 127 sitting MPs of the governing party use to speak to their constituents, instead use it to float trial balloons for what sells and what does not, as well as what the voting preference is for each, all in order to get reelected and pay for the new house, car and family they want so bad off your hard earned tax dollar, no way in heck if I have to work just as hard for those myself. Though no actual breach of regulations, we can all now agree this goes beyond the basic decorum of ethics, equity and essential human dignity, not just the politics of certain party successes, failures and the politics in between at Ottawa, but right through the very soul of the average taxpayer and into the flesh and blood person who is behind that paper and metal money. Perhaps, going back to Miller, Harper and the federal Tories flyer on Tax Freedom Day, we could reach it quicker if franking could now come out of the politicians pocket instead of that of the taxpeyers, would they all be in favour of such a free vote on that idea?

So there is no real need for a ten percent flyer slash government propaganda literature in this ditigal ecologically friendly age we live in, all politicans of all stripes should make good use of their computers, internet access and other taxpayer paid technological goodies they have been give, making such pamphlets obsolete and parliamentary update quarterlies about non partisan riding events in the constituency and parliamentary news we need to know.
