Harper is trying to BUY my vote.

Yesterday I got a $164.00 cheque that looked like a GST cheque... but didn't have those extra pages explaining it all. I'm surprised it didn't contain some pathetic homily proclaiming their concern for seniors. But why me? Did anybody else get one of these?

Maybe it was the regular one. It could be that all the other stuff that usually accompanies the cheque would remind the recipients that Canada has a strong social safety net.....That would be sending the wrong message.
