Taxpayer dollars at work
Only a handful of journalists showed up at the Superior Court of Ontario in Toronto Monday to get copies of the police search warrant that was the basis for the raid on Conservative party headquarters last week.
In a noteworthy price gap, the provincial court charges about $1 a page for copying, which makes its Federal Court counterpart a bargain at only 40 cents a page.
That means media outlets such as the CBC, which were not on the list to receive a free copy of the lenghty document from the Conservative party on Sunday, had to shell out $600 to get the complete version on Monday.
Of course, it is only through getting the court's official copy that one can be sure there are not any missing pages.
