Because the local media won't run the story, the NDP figured it out long ago. If it was an NDP government that was doing this, the local media would have it front page for a week. People in the NDP media group have been trying to push this story before, just like they bring attention to these ADS you see running all the time pushing BC Budget 2017 and what a great job the BC Liberal government is doing all being paid by the taxpayer. The only media source covering that is the Tyee.

The Auditor General report in 2014 said this type of partisan advertising at public expense was supposed to stop but Christy has actually double the spending on it.
