Like 78 Million Dollars for an ad campaign telling you they're spending your money?
yeah, he's talked about how alberta/oil is important, but not the only important thing in Canada.
He also said daddy's energy program was a mistake. That should make the blue-eyed arabs happy.

and that's just a portion of the money they're spending on advertising….from that article
In 2005-06, Ottawa spent $41.3 million on advertising, a number the government has roughly doubled in every year since Stephen Harper took office in January 2006.
The Conservatives who rode to power in part due to the Liberal sponsorship scandal and government advertising corruption spent more than half a billion dollars, $548.6 million, on advertising through their first six years in office.
Can you imagine what the pipeline propaganda mob are spending at the moment? I counted three different TV commercials last night repeated at various times. I'm afraid I can see it working wonders for the uniformed populous.
Train lines, pipe lines, it's all the same isn't it…?

Justin Trudeau has 206,000 and change Twitter followers.
Stephen Harper has 325,000 and change after being PM for how long???
If Twitter could decide, my money would be on Trudeau.
Anyone who calls Peter Kent a piece of shit is all right in my books.

… with 80% of votes.

More impressive is that 82% of those that registered voted, 104,552 of 127,261.
An engaged electorate has always been something Harper has feared. Expect bullying attack ads in an attempt to turn people off politics.
"Expect"?
You're already behind the curve!

No surprise that #CPC is attacking Justin while he was raising $1,900 for charity. Vic Toews put an end to prisoners raising money for charity.
Looks like Justin gave an interview during Movember. There's another cause they want to undermine.
