So a $34 million exercise facility is to be built in a Conservative riding in Truro. Yes, government must invest in infrastructure but it has to be quality infrastructure that over time will help economic development, such as ports or highways or airports. Rinks and pools are clearly politically inspired low quality in-efficient infrastructure and the fitness centre and multi-purpose rooms will simply squeeze out any private competition in those areas. It just goes to show that nothing has changed here in Nova Scotia (or Canada) in terms of so-called regional development. You can spend all the money you want but if it is done badly we are further behind than if no money was spent. This has been the bane of Atlantic Canada for decades and it needs to be stopped.
