Can you imagine the outrage from the world if an American town asked for a measly 10,000 dollars back?
OOOOOPs.....so sorry ...ny mistake....yeah thats the my story and I'm sticking to it.
How do you accidently vote on a donation?
John Kerry must have been in town.
And that's a measly crappy 10,000 Canadian dollars! *L*
Upon further review, the opposition won out due to the fact that those to the south already went way out with spending.
By mistake passed is about as much camouflaging as one can get.
Go ahead and list who signed the check and blame him/her.
Or better not, since that would reveal details.
I wonder if they'd have done this if they'd "accidentally" sent a donation to the Kerry campaign...
Outrage is an understatement....let me get this straight, a town that gives money, had to have gotten that money somewhere...was it maybe the taxpayers????
This is outrageous. A town, city, state...giving cash donations to any organization is a definite dereliction of duty when it comes to fiscal accountability.
ooh, $8,300 US. Damn,them canadiens are generous.
I'm just glad I'm not a Canucki.
according to earlier news and posts the Canadians were too worried about whether masturbating in one's home is legal or not to know they were voting on aid relief....they got confused with the "relief" term
