I haven't been able to find their price list, but Marketwire and Canada Newswire typically cost you about $500 per release. Assuming the Gov. only releases on weekdays, and that there are 260ish workdays in a typical year, that's about $3,500 or 7 news releases per day--or 3 1/2 if they send each release to both outlets. Seems rather a pile, and quite redundant giving the multitude of other communications tools there are at the Gov's disposal.

Very strange. I woke up this morning and thought: how much of tax dollars does Harper spend to tell us how much of our tax dollars he is spending.
Voila! I now know part of that total.
Thank you.
PS: Tomorrow I am planning to think about what it would take for the Leafs to make the playoffs. Just in case you find anything.

Easy, Leaf fans just need to stop buying tickets and sports paraphernalia. Then they'll get the message quick.
