Today the mayor of Toronto and the premier of Ontario are in Thunder Bay to announce funding for new streetcars. The federal minister responsible has so far contributed nothing more than a profanity.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1570702\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why is the government not supporting a project that will create thousands of jobs in Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba? Why is it not supporting a world-class company, Bombardier, and why is it not supporting energy-efficient transit for Canada's largest city?</p>",

Aujourd'hui, le maire de Toronto et le premier ministre de l'Ontario sont \u00e0 Thunder Bay pour annoncer le financement des nouveaux tramways. Jusqu'\u00e0 maintenant, la contribution du ministre f\u00e9d\u00e9ral responsable s'est limit\u00e9 \u00e0 des insultes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1570702\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi le gouvernement ne soutient-il pas un projet qui cr\u00e9era des milliers d'emplois en Ontario, au Qu\u00e9bec et au Manitoba?
