- David Akin: Liberal ridings get $1 million out of $69 million highway fund
-
Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty were in Mississauga, Ont. this morning where, among other things, they announced that the two governments would jointly fund 43 highway projects in Ontario. Each jurisdiction would kick in about $69 million for a total investment of $138.7 million. Now, even though Ontario's Liberal government would have played a major (and possibly the major) role in where that money will be spent, it turns out that that the vast majority of that money will be spent in -- drum roll, please -- ridings held by federal Conservative MPs. I've listed each project below and broken it down riding by riding. (And, as always, I welcome corrections if I've put one project or another in the wrong riding). Of the $69 million in federal funds, $52 million will be spent on 24 projects in Conservative ridings. Ridings held by federal New Democrats will see 11 projects in this series of announcements which will get federal funding of a combined $10.17 million. There were just 4 projects in Liberal ridings that will divvy up just over $1 million in federal funding.
