Vaughn Palmer, in the VSun, gives all those ad-buys we were talking about yesterday a number:

VICTORIA -- While the B.C. Liberals plead poverty on any number of spending priorities, they’ve not exercised restraint on a government advertising budget that is poised to hit $64 million over Premier Christy Clark’s two years in office.

Clark, on becoming premier in March 2011, straightaway presided over a major increase in the advertising spending....

Meanwhile, the BC Ferries schedule is about to be strangled in an 'effort' to save $26 million over the next four years.

Don't know about you, but I'd rather see that money go into the pay-packets of folks working the ferries, folks like you and me, than the consultants and the TeeVee moguls with their snouts in the trough.

And besides, nobody can hop on an ad to get home for Christmas.

OK?
