Parry Sound-Muskoka -The $50 Million Dollar Riding!
"Municipal documents obtained by the New Democrats show Clement met with local mayors and councillors in the midst of the 2008 election campaign. They discussed how to identify projects that could be eligible for the legacy funding.
Twelve days after that meeting, a local news outlet reported that Clement had posted video endorsements from "local townspeople, mayors and council members" on his campaign website.
"It gave him a major advantage over the other candidates," New Democrat MP Charlie Angus said in an interview Thursday.
"I think the question has to be asked: Was this a $50 million price of an election?"
Clement, who had barely won his Parry Sound-Muskoka riding by a margin of only 28 votes in 2006, easily won re-election two years later with a whopping margin of almost 11,000 votes."
