On this blog, 350 or bust, the first post was about how Harper is protecting oil companies while doing nothing for the environment. The post talked about how Canadian crime rates are actually dropping and our money is getting spent on new prisons while closing down rehabilitative farms.

On this website of Canadian policy alternatives, I discovered that Canadian military funding is now the highest it's been since the second world war. What is the Harper government doing and why is so much money being put into our military since it's not needed?
This is an article from the Council of Canadians. It talks about how they cut funding from Environment Canada by 1/5 and moved the money into the military. The Council of Canadians feels that this is out of step with what most Canadians want and show how Harper is not on the same page as the general public.
This is a website published by the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition. Although I couldn't find anything specifically pertaining to the federal budget 2011, I found a lot on oil subsidies and how they need to be cut.
