I might have to retrieve all of the news, and keep them as a DRAFT before publishing them .. there are a lot of news releases issued every day, and duplicated through out various government agencies (of course!).

I’m still working on trying to get the permalinks to work. I have hit an obstacle by the optional requirement to include provided updated files in my ../wp-admin/.. folder - however if I do that, the next time I do a wordpress automatic update to the latest version (using InstantUpgrade plugin) those files will be deleted. I’m looking for an out-of-the-box solution.

I have just set up automatic syndication to post all Canadian News related posted on various Government of Canada sites .. here at 1-8-0-0-H-A-R-T. There may be tweaking over the next few days, but generally I have set the syndication so it will post in here - and for the source of the news, all you will have to do is click on the permalink title.

Now - if you are reading this in your RSS Reader, you probably noticed that I just posted about 19 of ‘em - without the permalink being linkable and, all I can say is … whoooooooooops! Me bad (but, I can’t fix that)

2007-089

The Honourable Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance, today tabled in the House of Commons the Budget and Economic Statement Implementation Act to effect the $60 billion of broad-based tax relief proposed in the October 30, 2007 Economic Statement. The Act also includes Budget 2007 measures not included in the Budget Implementation Act, 2007, which received Royal Assent on June 22, 2007.

“Our government is reducing taxes across the board for every Canadian individual and business that pays tax,” said Minister Flaherty. “As a result of our efforts since taking office, taxes will fall by some $190 billion over this and the next five years to their lowest level since the early 1960s. This is an achievement of which we can all be proud.”
