Is Timmins-James Bay being punished for voting NDP? That was the underlying message delivered by Liberal Paul Taillefer at a news conference this morning where he shared documents that suggest the riding is suffering because of MPP Charlie Angus' "Record of Inneffectiveness". Taillefer pointed to FEDNOR funding figures over the past 8 years. In a detailed package given to reporters, the Liberals revealed figures that suggest the riding is getting half the government funding from FEDNOR that it used to. FEDNOR is the federal government's economic development fund specifically set aside for Northern Ontario.
