While I agree with most everyones thoughts on this election, this is really not the case. Time was wasted but very little money. I would say that most of the money stayed in Canada, circulating in Canada, therefore contributing to our economy. Think of all of the Canadian labour that goes into an election. So many seniors with part time jobs, sign makers for Mikes lawn, campaign bus drivers, advertisers, interviewers, polling station cleaner, just a host of Canadian jobs. Similar to the arguement that the space race was a waste of money, it was not. Most of the money stays within the economy. Think macro economics you folks...
