PORK-BARREL SPENDING ALIVE & WELL WITH TRUDEAU

The federal government’s grandly titled “Atlantic Growth Strategy” was in action Monday.
As the minister in charge of this strategy, Navdeep Bains, put it, this “Atlantic Growth Strategy” involves “targeted investments” that will help boost the region’s “long-term prosperity.”
So what were Monday’s “targeted investments”? Paving a parking lot at a theatre and building new forward tees at a golf course in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. An energy retrofit at the YMCA in St. John’s. Building a new stage at a folklore park in Miramichi, N.B.. Combined bill for the federal taxpayer: About $350,000.
