Reminder:
Grand Mère Hotel and golf course, a couple of million in federal grants and loans to Shawinigan businessmen Yvon Duhaime and Pierre Thibault.
The Human Resources Development billion dollar boondoggle.
A fire arms registry at over a billion dollars. How many lives could have been saved if that was directed at health care.

This seems like a blatant violation of “probation.”

I wonder if Iggy is going to do anything about it?

Gee, if only we had a different government we could have changed this. How did the Liberals vote on the budget again?

We will have to e-mail the Prime Minister to cancel the overhaul of Union Station, cancel the extension of the Yonge and Dounsview subway lines.

When you e-mail him, can you maybe just ask him to return the Mayor of Toronto’s phone calls? You see, the Cons announced all this funding awhile back (a few times I think), but the city seems to be having trouble getting the feds to actually release the money.

Oversized novelty cheques are cool, but they don’t build subways.

Ok, lets leave roads, flood control and clean up out of this

Conservative Ridings recieving monies for Urban Infrasture projects

Northlands Exhibition facility – 25 Mill
Art Gallery of Alberta Expansion – 10 Mill
Kinnear Centre for Creativity and Innovation – 15 Mill
Centre for Sport Excellence – 40 Mill
Calgary Stampede Park Western Legacy Project – 15 Mill
New Cambridge Performing Arts Centre – 6 Mill
New Burlington Performing Arts Centre – 1.5 Million
Downtown Conference Centre – 4 Mill
Multi-purpose at IPSCO Place – 20 Mill

136.5 Million spent in 9 CPC Ridings

Non Conservative Riding recieving monies for Urban Infrasture projects Projects

Ottawa Congress Centre – 50 Mill
New pavilion for Canadian art at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts – 13 mill
Quartier des spectacles – 40 mill
Musee National des beaux-arts – 33.7 mill

136.7 Million spent, in five non CPC ridings, of that, 60 percent of the ridings are in Quebec and 63.4% monies was also spent in Quebec.

Oh, of 136.5 Million spent in CPC Ridings, 105 Million of it was spent in Alberta in five different ridings.

So it seems that Alberta is the one that is getting the preferential treatment here, even among CPC ridings, if you ain’t an Alberta Voter, you really don’t matter to Harper or the CPC

We will have to e-mail the Prime Minister to cancel the overhaul of Union Station, cancel the extension of the Yonge and Dounsview subway lines. After all, they never voted Conservative. Harper is far too kind to those Torontonians.
