No Period, But Brown Mucus

Grants: beads of 12 to 18 February 2011

Each week, the blog of Matthew Turbide and Serge Laplante, Where do your taxes , publishes a list of grants announced by the government.

Invariably, this list contains beads that demonstrate the culture of "waste" that prevails among our political elites.

The parade continues to grant more beautiful, but the spending cuts promised by the Minister Bachand are still not at the rendezvous.

There is no money to fund a system of justice, first quality, but there are always for pet projects of politicians. However, a justice system that has the confidence of the population is far more important than the fourth edition of the World ice ciders.
