I'm not a huge fan of the PC's but when your options are voting for a party that thinks post secondary education should be free of charge in a few years/want's to cut everyone meaningless rebate cheques and the other that won't actually commit to what its plans are in any way i'd say you don't have much choice.
Loads of people buy / bring their own stuff into their office (plants / art / utensils / tools + equipment / etc.). No one obvioulsy has to bring in a desk or chairs, but neither do teachers.

Lots of people go above and beyond for their job. Its a pure vote buy by the PC's.
