when an election is called a majority government should not be allowed to promote itself with public funds ,these funds should be payed back by the bc liberal party i am quite sure the liberal supporters ethic is why use your own money when you can get it for free .it's an abuse of the public airwaves ,every time an add runs people should flush a toilet the massive drop in water pressure would be a good indication of protest, we could call it the toilet bowl poll,also you can make the complaint to crtc and any broadcaster who run the adds use your right to the ,freedom of expression i have lost the enjoyment of your programing, claim the proportionate amount on your 2012 tax returns as a demand note political donation .it's all about the new world order roll over and stay on the paper and don't complain so much .hey christy crack a bud and put on your sailing shoes it's all over .oh i forgot the 10,900 plus foreign workerjobs in bc is nothing to be proud of ,we can't even trust you wiith employment because you people have rigged the labour legislation to the level of unfair competition. when unemployment is so high for the people of this province.shame on you.

No Clark they make people uncomfortable because we have schools in trouble people living on the streets and you spend millions of frivolous pointless ads.

How many social or arts programs would 12 million fund?

I always thought campaign expenses were borne by the parties themselves. I bet my picture is in the dictionary under "gullible" .

Cuts to schools, cuts to hospitals, cuts to parks, cuts to just about anything for the taxpayers of this province and yet the BC Liberals always have money for themselves or for buying votes. Its time this province was cleaned up and our tax dollars put where they should go, not in the pockets of giant corporations.

Didn't the Liberals once say they would never use taxpayers money to promote how well they think they are doing?

Oh wait, I forgot... they also lie a lot, that explains things.

Maybe the NDP could play the same game and start listing all the things the Liberals have done against the law or lied about. But that would mean not everything would be mentioned since the election is 3 months away. There wouldn't be enough time.

I resent paying taxes for Liberal propaganda. On the other hand, CTV is showing the NDP ads with annoying frequency.
