And again, it's no surprise it's taken this long for some of our more Conservative members to comment about this story.

Why don't you write a letter to Harper demaning he divy up the money equally to all parties in Quebec ? Don't forget that the Bloc have 48(and climbing) out of the 75 seats in Quebec. Then the Bloc could use the money to send out how much Canada sucks pamphlets or something.

Great idea.

Under the guidelines, pamphlets wouldn't have been allowed...

The Economic Action Plan is an investment in jobs now and in our future prosperity. The Action Plan is:

* Reducing the Tax Burden for Canadians: Providing Canadians with significant, permanent personal income tax relief and Canadian businesses with the lowest overall tax rate on new business investment among the major industrialized economies.
* Helping the Unemployed: Providing more resources for EI benefits to support those who have lost their jobs and providing the training required to help Canadians get the additional skills they need for the jobs of tomorrow and to get back to work. This includes providing additional benefits to long-tenured workers. The Government has also enacted measures to provide additional support for the self-employed.
* Building Infrastructure to Create Jobs: Providing new infrastructure and housing funding to create jobs across Canada and ensure Canada emerges from the economic downturn with a more modern and greener infrastructure, as well as an expanded capacity to provide affordable housing to lower-income Canadians. These projects are moving forward and benefiting workers and the economy across the country.
* Creating the Economy of Tomorrow: Improving infrastructure at colleges, universities, federal laboratories and research facilities, introducing additional support for graduate students and internships, and supporting research and technology leadership in Canada.
* Supporting Industries and Communities: Supporting local economies and protecting jobs in regions, communities and sectors that have been most affected by the economic downturn.
* Improving Access to Financing and Strengthening Canada’s Financial System: Ensuring the continued stability of the Canadian financial system and improving access to financing for Canadian households and businesses.

Nice hit & run trolling though...

I think its great! Why give cash to people who won't vote for you? It's a much better prospect to give to those who will vote Tory.

Not really... it will have a negative back lash from the other ridings. He may or may not hold on to the ones he is bribing... Québec politics works in mysterious ways

Surprise surprise.

It has always been like that, specially in Quebec. For both parties.

My aplogies didn't read it. Safe to say though better to put the money in Tory ridings than bloc.

[Zipperfish]

They all do it. Like they say in Quebec, plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose. And eventually, the Tories will end up with a corrupt rat's nest in Quebec just like the Liberals did.

[Thanos]

It reminds me too much of the pointless rivalry with Shelbyville. They beat us in baseball so we burn down their town hall. Then they retaliate by threatening to spike our water supply, even though they haven't had the guts to do it yet (we think). Will it ever end?

I think pandering to Quebecs whims is something that costs a lot and gets little in return but at least Stevie is having a go.

It is "Plus ca change, plus c'est pareil"

Anyone who doesn't pander in Quebec just gets smeared as being an anti-French racist anyway, so it's not like any federal party has a choice. It's either spread the joy and the cash around or close down business altogether. Just one of those quirky Canadian political obligations I suppose.

The good ol' days when we had Maurice Duplessis as Premier. If your riding voted "red", you were sure to not have new roads and have electricity installed.

Take heed Reform types! Gotta be kinda nice to Quebec, even if you don't want to!

Well he is not liked in Québec. He might get a few votes but no cigar!

Who isn't from Quebec is popular in Quebec ken?!
