Advertising: Rick Mercer

Rick Mercer: His proof? The fact that the Harper government spent $2.5 million advertising a jobs program that doesn't even exist, according to Huffington Post. "Our government spent $2.5 million advertising a job creation program that does not exist. As in, it is fiction. It's a pretend thing," Mercer said. "$2.5 million advertising something that is not real. Just saying it out loud sounds like the ravings of a mad person." Rick Mercer thinks we've officially entered a "world of unicorns and magic beans." The CBC comedian unleashed a rant Tuesday ripping apart the Tories for spending big last spring to advertise the Canada Job Grant, a controversial program announced in the last federal budget which may never come into being unless the provinces and territories get on board.
