So, so many Calgary-Elbow constituents are concerned about the Alberta conservative government’s plan to take our CPP away. We want to fight to keep it. But how?
This email is for you.
The battle is asymmetric. The conservative government will spend $7.5 million of taxpayer money on an advertising campaign. It started last week. If it’s not enough, they will likely spend more. That’s despite 88% of respondents to our survey supporting the CPP and wanting to keep it.
I apologize if this seems self-serving, but it’s vital that we close that money gap. We can use your donations for advertising, canvassing, and staffing a team that will fight back in the media and in people’s hearts.
I wish money didn’t tilt voters’ behaviour, but it does. That’s why the conservatives spend so freely, and that’s part of why they win.
Can I count on you to help?
