What you should know about Tory MP Brad Trost

There's a new piece on the Xtra.ca national page today that I have a co-writing credit on, though my role was primarily research. I also authored the sidebar at the bottom of the piece, which looked at the per capita funding of the various festivals that got funded by the programme Trost railed about, and found that Pride got the second lowest per capita funding of all festivals to date. And while the piece is an interesting bit of background, there really isn't a whole lot to it. As a couple of staffers told me during my research, Trost is a "nobody" on the Hill, which this piece does end up reflecting.
