Two Things[edit]

I've got two things to talk ask. One, where does all this information come from, there are no sources at all. Two, I know this isn't google but I've been having a hard time finding a breakdown of the Canadian federal discretionary budget and I'm wondering if somebody might point me in the direction which I can find it.

A Wee Bit Dry, Doncha Think?[edit]

Two things missing from this article: the role of the Budget Speech as a fulcrum of the year's policy; and anecdotes from Canadian history.

On the first I would think that Michael Wilson's budgets as both symbols and tools of massive tax reform would be worth a mention. I don't know, but did Diefenbaker's pensions come out in budget speeches?

Of the second, one example might be Sir John A. asking one of his near neighbours to keep him supplied with gin during the speech, and one supplier reporting his surprise at finding after the budget came down that he had been just one of several keeping the PM/Chancellor lubricated.
