From the "surprised but not surprised" department, the NDP have come up with yet another way to pickpocket taxpayers involuntarily. This is just pure greed:
"If passed, an Alberta government plan will see taxpayer dollars help fund the province’s election campaigns.
The recommendation was made by Edmonton-Ellerslie NDP MLA Rod Loyola in Wednesday’s ethics committee meeting. He proposed parties and candidates get a rebate for half of their campaign expenses, as long as they get at least 10 per cent of the vote."
