Peggy Hasein the independent newspaper publisher in Biggar, Saskatchewan comments..."Ironically, if the government would actually place advertising campaigns in my newspapers I would not be asking for support. The Liberal government spent $13.7-million on advertising with social media. Protecting the Canadian domestic market was another priority in the speech. Ad campaigns in local markets would be a great way to lead by example."

A quick Google search of Federal MP representation in the riding that includes Biggar shows that since 1997 while being represented by the NDP, Alliance and now the Conservative Party that the Liberal candidates have garnered a high af 15% of the vote and in the last two elections have been in a neck and neck race with the Green Party for 3rd place together not getting more than 8% of the vote!

Gosh Peggy...do you think your readers would vote Liberal if the government ran ads propping up your paper and in sufficient numbers to win in your riding in 2019?
