If you want to place a TV ad, pay for it Harper

Wow that was cheap. If the Conservatives have so much money, why do they need to use their (current) status as government to get free ad time from the networks?

They made a pitch to the networks that they needed to speak to the country and then Harper just repeated what he has been saying for days. Infuriating.

Especially infuriating because he knows quite well that the the act of the PM making an address to Canadians really ups the anxiety level of the nation(s).

I am continually blown away by the utter disregard for the welfare and stability of this country that Harper and the Conservatives have exhibited this past week. He has figured out that the best way for him to get Canadians to agree with his irrational arguments for staying in power is to scare them into irrationality themselves. Shameful.
