Paying for politics

Michael Shapcott documents the energy put into announcing and re-announcing funding for federal/Ontario housing initiatives by Lib and Con governments alike. The real shame is that the program has been set up with temporary enough funding that there's actually a need to re-announce the funding so frequently, rather than including stable funding such that those relying on the program know where they stand before the next photo-op. But that's to be expected from governments more interested in appearing to do things than in actually getting things done.
