Conservative quick off the mark with election advertising

Wow! The Conservative candidate for New Westminster-Coquitlam, Diana Dilworth, was quick off the starting block for the next federal election. She must be clairvoyant.

I received her first campaign flyer in my mailbox from Canada Post on the early morning of Friday, March 25 - an hour or so before the federal government was expected to fall by a non-confidence vote over the many instances of the Conservative's contempt of Parliament.

The prime minister was expected to meet with the Governor General on Saturday to request Parliament be dissolved and an election be called for either May 2 or 9.

As Ms. Dilworth's flyer was clearly distributed before an election has been called, then I hope the cost of this advertising will not be included in her campaign expenses.
