Emerson Like Bad Breath

Sigh. What do you expect from either Emerson or the Conservative "we don't care about what's right" Party of Canada.

Emerson raising hackles in Vancouver-Kingsway

David Emerson may not be running again -- but in the middle of the campaign -- constituents are still receiving his mailings, promoting the Conservative Party's track record, mailings paid for with taxpayers dollars

One of them is Vancouver - Kingsway resident - Jonathan Williams, who got some unexpected mail this week. In the middle of an election campaign - Williams received newsletter from MP David Emerson promoting the Conservative party.

Political advertising must be paid for by the party or candidate. The catch though is that if the newsletter was sent prior to the election being called -- even just one day prior -- it's technically within the rules.
