She said her concerns were exactly FOR her constituents, the definition of democratic representation. If she voted against the government then all the budget lines for city funding would be cancelled. Coming from Toronto she didn't want to see that. Also, she was increasingly unsupportive of the party's policies. That's democratic representation as well.

She also said she was a Conservative... well, right up until Martin bribed her with a better paying job.
If her constituents favor a corrupt individual in a corrupt party, then that is just another sign of how stupid Ontario is.
Though, of course, you are right in one respect. If this budget is defeated, Toronto might not get it's money anymore. Toronto only got it in the first place because Martin is trying to bribe Ontario with it's own money in a desperate, and pathetic attempt at staying in power. If he were to win another mandate, that money will vanish right back into the Liberal party's piggy bank.
