The campaigns end up totalling at least $116,800 of taxpayer money
The UCP government has funded very few independent media outlets – the only other one currently known is The Western Standard, run by former UCP MLA and grumpy child-chaser Derek Fildebrandt.
This information came to light over a year later in a FOIP request return.
So we were pretty sure that the Counter Signal was also getting some money sent their way.So we did what we do and filed another FOIP!And boy did we get a response!/3

Counter Signal is run by Keeane Bexte, a somewhat controversial figure. His history includes allegedly selling merchandise for a white nationalist website, and faking his own arrest on a few occasions while being escorted from press conferences.
