'Normal' for Tory ridings to get more cash: Que. star candidate

[CHIMO]

It is "normal" for Conservative ridings to receive more cash from Ottawa than those with opposition MPs, a high-profile Tory candidate in Quebec said Thursday.

Larry Smith, a former CFL commissioner now running for the Conservatives in Montreal, said it is part of the political process for governments to be favourable to their supporters.

The Tories believe Smith represents their best chance at winning a seat on the island for the first time since 1988.

In making his case, Smith said his riding in western Montreal could expect more federal funding if it voted Conservative.
