It must be election season because our MP is driving around her constituency dropping off fat cheques from taxpayers to help local businesses "develop".
Here is an example of the type of business that qualifies for one of these "investments" - BionX.
Regular readers of my blog will remember this company that is owned by local billionaire Frank Stronach which also employed Newmarket Regional Councillor John Taylor as a company director responsible for lobbying municipalities. One of Regional Councillor John Taylor's successes while at BionX is convincing his fellow councillors to allow the e-bikes that BionX manufactures to be used on our town trails alongside the pedestrians who also use these trails.
It seems that when your last name is Taylor and Stronach, our various levels of government are willing to do all sorts of things to keep you happy in the run up to this fall's federal election. We have already numerous public parks and facilities named either Taylor or Stronach.
What is a big fat cheque payable to this Stronach owned company courtesy of the taxpayer worth to the re-election bid of MP Lois Brown?
