The Friends with Benefits Award goes to New Westminster, a longtime NDP riding that’s enjoying some perks of an NDP government.
While the Liberals put a number of projects, like the Royal Columbian Hospital expansion and replacement for New Westminster Secondary School, in motion while they were in government, NDP politicians have already visited New West on a number of occasions to announce funding for projects in the city.
Since being sworn in in July 2017, NDP visits to New West have included an appearance by Premier John Horgan in February to announce the province would pay for a replacement for the Pattullo Bridge and by Education Minister Rob Fleming in March to announced funding for a replacement for Richard McBride Elementary School.
