Hey, what's this? $566 million dollars more for Quebec in Transfer payments? How's that for timing?

Jean Lapierre says that it's not vote buying with more money, they just changed the funding formula to meet Quebec's needs better. From CTV.

Now hang on... if they changed the formula, and didn't spend any new money, doesn't that mean that the other provinces are now being shorted by $566 MILLION DOLLARS?

And here's this as well... Ottawa is to offer a sort-of appology to the Italian community for the treatment they received during WWII. Funny about the timing of this too... trying to keep the Italian community onside? (after firing Alfonso?)
