- Trading stimulus for votes in Nova Scotia
-
Parker Donham, who operates a communications consultancy in Nova Scotia and runs the Contrarian blog site, has posted a fascinating map detailing paving projects approved for stimulus funding by Ottawa.
The province put forward 39 paving projects, he writes, of which 20 were approved (with no obvious reason for ther other 19 to be rejected). Of those approved "projects in ridings held by Conservative MPs were almost four times as likely to receive federal approval as those in Liberal-held ridings." Donham compiled a map of the projects, which you can see on his site. The greatest success rate was in a vacant riding the Tories hope to capture in a byelection next fall, where seven of eight projects were approved, worth $5.2 million.
Peter MacKay does very well; poor Scott Brison not so good.
Obviously, all just a coincidence.
