$100 A DAY!!!
The fucking TV set costs $600 at Walmart! LOLOLOLOL!!!! My friend asks the political party manager in this riding why they would'nt just go out and buy a TV because it's significantly cheaper then paying $3000 renting a TV for 30 days.
The party manager says because they can't do that because the TV would become an asset!
My question is why would'nt they just buy the TV and once the election is over they give the TV to a charity or auction it off and give the money to a needy charity???
Once again our hardworking Canadian dollars at work LOL!

I'm genuinely surprised it's not an American story, really. Sounds very American. I thought Canadians were thrifty lol
