Attack Ads A Game Taxpayers Shouldn't Be Paying For Says Lacey

Attacks ads are nothing more than political parties fighting back and forth like children.

That, according to Kevin Lacey of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, who tells CHSJ News that if they want to play that game, they should pay for it out of their own pockets.

Lacey says these mailouts are little more than political ads and taxpayers shouldn't be on the hook for them. He says taxpayers expect their dollars to go towards good health care, education and roads.

His organization has given political mailouts a "teddy", a national waste award for wasting taxpayers' money.
