All together now: Spend, spend, spend
And to think, a few years back, I thought these guys would reduce wasteful government spending. *Sigh*
Oh yeah, since we're on the topic of excessive spending, I wouldn't want to leave out Heritage Minister Bev Oda's cultural capital boondoggle, especially since her department handed over a $500,000 dollar cheque (of our money) to a municipality that didn't even have a cultural plan. Not to mention, not one job will be created. Sheesh!
Moreover, since the Conservative summer spending spree started 13 days ago, which provinces do you believe topped the list of government handouts?? If you guessed Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick, you are right. (NB to the tune of $221-million) Now that's what I call pure government dependency.

I share you disappointment.
the best I think I can do is hope to cash in on one of the political BBQ's this summer and recoup some of my tax money in the form of some free growlies.
Anybody know when and where?
Depends on what city are u in?? If you're in freddy beach or Saint John, chances are you will see Harper. Others...don't count on it.
Liberal. Tory. Same ol story.
NB, How much of this is re-announced spending.
Good question, Kingston. I believe the bulk of the spending (207 million) was the road infrastructure money which had already been announced back in 2006. As for the remaining 14 million? I believe it was new spending earmarked for specific Heritage and ACOA projects.
