Dear Agoracom Family,

I want to thank all of you for your patience with us over the past 48 hours and apologize for what was admittedly a botched launch of our new site.

As you can see, we have reverted back to the previous version of the site while we address multiple forum functionality flaws that inexplicably made their way into the launch.

To this end:

1.We have identified 8 fundamental but easily fixable flaws that will be corrected in the coming week, so that you can continue to use the forums exactly as you've been accustomed to.

2.Additionally we will also be implementing a couple of design improvements to "tighten up" the look and feel of the forums.

Have a great Sunday, especially those of you like me that are celebrating Orthodox Easter ... As well as those of you who are also like me and mourning another Maple Leafs Game 7 exit ... Ugggh!

Sincerely,

George et al

$3B budget approved not spent by Trudeau jr, incl 829M for infrastructure. Why not?

From today's G&M, fyi, Peter

"The federal budget watchdog says nearly $3 billion in planned government spending that had been approved by Parliament will go unspent this fiscal year.

The parliamentary budget officer says the government's most-recent spending projections indicate that this money has been administratively frozen.

The analysis says these sums can no longer be spent by federal organizations in 2016-17 and will lapse at the end of the 2016-17 fiscal year.

The budget office report says the Treasury Board of Canada could decide to change the years in which the approved spending is allocated or it could transfer the funds.

The report says the biggest sums that have been frozen include $829 million allotted for Infrastructure Canada, $366 million for National Defence, $192 million for Fisheries and Oceans Canada and $100 million for Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada.

The budget office says parliamentarians may want to ask the government why some allotments have been frozen and which programs have been affected.
