Dear Editor:
Well, here we go again. Election day in 2019 was Oct. 21. Election day in 2021 will be Sept. 20.
The cost of the 2019 B.C. provincial election was roughly $510 million.
Elections Canada estimates the cost of this year's election to be in the order of $610 million.
That seems like a lot of money Canadian taxpayers are being expected to spend for less than two years of government.
When you go out to vote on Sept. 20, just consider how much $610 million is, and ask yourself why on earth we are being asked to spend it.
