Shop Canadian

The current Governor-General of Canada, Adrienne Clarkson, has had her budget slashed and New Democrat MP Pat Martin opinioned(Yahoo News):
"It's not too much to ask for the Governor General to have to switch brands of caviar and find a more efficient way of running Rideau Hall," Martin said.
I am all for budget cuts to stop the feeding frenzy of the federal purse but “slashing, dicing and paring” the annual budget from Cdn$19 million to Cdn$18, 683,000 is not what I had in mind when I think "slashed".
