Dear Editor:

Harris Decima called me, offering on behalf of the federal government, a $75 payment to attend a government round-table meeting where we would discuss "things I might have heard about in the news" - a murky description of the agenda at best. When pressed, Decima claimed to have no further knowledge of the subjects up for discussion.

This brief call brought two thoughts to mind: 1) How much of my tax money is the Conservative Party wasting on this thinly veiled PR exercise? 2) MP Andrew Saxton could have my opinion for free if only he would open his mail, and read a line or two.
