  7. TV ads in hockey games or jobs for youth?

    May 16, 2013

    Earlier this spring, the Harper Conservatives faced a choice in their spending plans. They could invest in jobs for unemployed young Canadians (especially summer jobs for students).

They chose the ads. Hundreds of them.   More »
