Defences?

Defences?

Da fences around Deerhurst cost more than $2M.

The landscaping for the community hall cost almost $100G

A new washroom and patio out front (yes a patio in front of washrooms) cost $40G+

Tony dropped a wad in town, and hopefully loses his seat next time around.

Am I thankful for the largesses, sure, something for nothing, but it truly was ridiculous what they spent and what they spent it on.

They need to be hammered for it but the Libs wont make too hay out of this

Well, what we expect from politicans. Tony never lived there but had to move there to get a seat. I guess he could used the place for his summer retreat and have everything one wants after his retirement. It will be interesting to see if the people in that area, think politicans should spend tax $$ as they did and return him to Ottawa in the next election.
