The Election Won't Be as Costly as Once Thought

[socialist]

Why can't the MSM tell us the truth instead of trying to manipulate complacent, ignorant Canucks.

Wait a minute....

".... wont be as costly as once thought"....? ? ? is a great headline.... except:

What was it "once thought" to cost? Who actually produced a number?

There is lots of talk about it costing "more"... that is not disputed....

....and the CBC question to Elections Canada was: "twice as long so can I extrapolate... to double...." ... a question.... to which he answered NO. But that was a question, not a statement.

So WHO .... other than Lilly himself.... who else actually said that it would cost double?

This is a classic Faux News tactic.

Create a false statement..... "Election will cost double...."

Attribute it to somebody who never said it.... "CBC News..."

Then attack the "false " statement which they themselves created.

Milevski stated that the election will cost "tens of millions" more. That is not disputed.

In the studio, CBC ASKED whether it is appropriate to extrapolate, they accepted the NO answer and did not dispute it.

Party spending limits are raised due to the extra length of time..to approximately double of a 5-week campaign. That is not disputed.

Taxpayers rebate the parties approximately 50-percent of their expenses.

So if the parties spend their maximum, the REBATES will be double what they otherwise would have been.

But NOBODY ever stated what the total cost would be.... So if Lilley is going to say... ".it is less than previously thought", then please let us know how much it was "previously thought", and by whom.

The point is that the left leaning media tries to pretend there is a controversy where there isn't one.

Apologies in advance, if I am missing something.....
