government as short on principles as on cash | In particular, the article "Farm aid cynical(4)" depicts this government as short on principles as |
on cash. This article reports that Ottawa and Saskatchewan have struck a deal worth about $300 | |

problem, that Saskatchewan was being alienated and forgotten by Ottawa, that Saskatchewan | |
was giving notice to pull out of the AIDA program. The deal has reversed all of these positions, | |
and a content Roy Romanow has begun talking about the greatness of the Canadian federation. | |
