The Bush Administration’s stamp of approval on a load of manure
NRDC: Press Release - Halloween Trick from Bush Administration: Treat to Factory Farms
The new rule:
Creates a loophole allowing facility operators to avoid permits by claiming they won’t have a discharge.
Adopts
a scheme that allows facilities to avoid certain environmental
enforcement. For instance, if an operator certifies that the facility
won’t have a discharge, environmental authorities will ignore
enforcement action, even if the facility discharges to the nation’s
waters.
Rejects
improvements in technology that would reduce harmful bacteria and other
pathogens contained in animal waste, missing an opportunity to prevent
water pollution and threats to public health.

Note: the word at the end of the video is "blumpkin". It is not a pleasant thing - If you look it up in Urban Dictionary don't say I didn't warn you.

Flaherty f**ks over Ontario and the rest of the provinces
Impolitical: The dump on Ontario strategy continues
On the day that we learned Ontario would be receiving equalization payments,
we witness the federal government scaling back the equalization program
due to the need to make spending cuts. Spending cuts due to a looming $10 billion federal deficit that Flaherty will be presiding over.

Neoconservatism and banking
Bill Longstaff: Minority government: lucky for us, lucky for Stephen Harper
If Stephen Harper had won a majority in 2006, or even in 2004, it may have been a very different story. Harper is very much the neocon himself, a believer in small government. One suspects he wouldn't have resisted the pressure for deregulation, indeed would have been more likely to embrace it, and we could have been well on our way toward a U.S. style financial system and the consequent collapse.

qualified in 4 federal constituencies for reimbursement. After the
