The government has spent a lot of energy on glitzy announcements, but little energy on getting money to municipalities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1481696\" data-originallang=\"en\">In Sault Ste. Marie we are still waiting for funds for the International Bridge, Algoma University and Sault College. We cannot fight the recession by only making funding announcements. How much longer must communities like mine wait before the funds begin to flow?</p>",
