   It's just one of the reasons that support for your party is dropping in   
   Ontario.   
   And it reinforces what an arrogant prick you are, and just how divisive your   
   government has been for this country.  May you be defeated in the very ridings   
   you're trying to bribe.

   Funds for Tory riding in Toronto not on *Ontario's* wish list   
      
      
   The Conservative government has awarded $18.4-million to a project in a   
   Conservative MP's Toronto-area riding - again bypassing Ontario's wish list of   
   nearly 115 infrastructure projects.   
      
   The Wednesday announcement was the second time in a month that Prime Minister   
   Stephen Harper and his team have gone into the Greater Toronto Area on their   
   own to make funding announcements under the New Building Canada Fund without   
   involving the province.   
      
   Ontario officials say they heard about the planned announcement only on   
   Tuesday through a press release.   
      
   This announcement comes as Mr. Harper and his Conservative government are   
   poised to call an election which must be held by Oct. 19.   Ontario is   
   considered a key battleground for votes - in fact, some national pollsters   
   predict that the outcome of the    
   election could be decided in the province.   
      
   Mark Adler is the Conservative MP for the riding where the announcement is   
   being made. Finance Minister Joe Oliver, Toronto Mayor John Tory and   
   Centennial College vice-president Brad Chapman attended.   
      
   Premier Kathleen Wynne's Liberal government is not popular with the federal   
   Conservatives.   Her government made $2.5-billion in requests under the new   
   fund - and believed that it would be consulted about which projects would go   
   forward.    It also    
   expected that the projects would be jointly announced.   
      
   So far, however, this has not been the case. Earlier this month, Mr. Lebel   
   announced a $26.9-million contribution to a new research building at the   
   University of Ontario Institute of Technology in Oshawa.   
      
   Wednesday's announcement provides funding to expand the aerospace program at   
   Centennial College.  In 2013, the provincial government announced $26-million   
   for the same project.   
      
   A provincial official told The Globe and Mail on Wednesday that while funding   
   is always welcome, the province is concerned with the way in which the federal   
   government is ignoring its requests - for transit and highways - and   
   supporting other projects.   
      
   Ms. Wynne criticized the federal government over its practice in a recent   
   interview with The Globe.  She characterized it as a "huge problem" and   
   "unworkable."   
      
   Ontario Economic Development Minister Brad Duguid sent a letter to   
   Infrastructure Minister Denis Lebel in early July expressing his "extreme   
   disappointment" over the lack of consultation.
