Something for Civics class...

In second period civics today we were going over our bill introductions, and procedures within government.
And although I'm not phychic I think I can already tell what tomorrow's topic will be:
The new Federal budget.
Now before you tune out (I get that the words government and budget aren't terribly exciting) think of the importance this has on Canada. I mean today Jim Flaherty -The Minister of Finance- announced the proposed new federal budget plan, meaning where tax dollars are going to go (if the plan is put into action of course.) Ideas concerning nearly all Canadians were included, such as new tax credits for volunteer firefighters, economic strategies to increase Canadian innovation with India, and even a program called "Helmets to Hardhats" to help retired military personnel to recieve jobs in the construction business.
It has been said that this new budget plan will is very unlikely to pass a vote in the House of Commons, but the Conservatives will likely include it with their campaign throughout the next election.

Now, if you've somehow managed to get past the word budget and government, all the way to the bottom-
the Eco-Idea of the day is use eco-friendly websites!
You guys have all probably noted how schmancy our white writting is on our black background for this blog, but it's actually environmentally friendly too! The black background doesn't use nearly as much energy as white backgrounds do! There is even this search engine identical to Google called Blackle, which is actually the exact same thing, (the same links come up for every search,) but the back is black so it saves 2,389,822.429 watts per hours!
