As such no one this city votes for, has a position of enough power within a provincial or federal cabinet to pork-barrel for the area. If we were to have someone like Tony Clement representing us you better believe we'd have all the funding we wanted."

Yes, but unfortunately you'd have Tony Clement for your representative. ; )

During G20, Clement's riding got a ton of goodies. New brick sidewalks that nearly covered the fire hydrants, a truly Ug-lY lighthouse sculpture that looked like it was made of scrap lumber. (Wow, like anybody anywhere needed That!) Repairs & paving for areas not near the meeting also got the nod.

There is only so much money to go around. The rest of us are going to suffer from a lot less $$ thanks to this wasteful spending, fake lakes & all.

I'm glad that I don't live in Clement's riding, cuz I'd feel like the Sheriff of Nottingham's toady.
