	8th IACC: Combating Corruption: Regulating the Funding of Political Parties (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In general, regulations to limit campaign spending and activity by third parties are to support and strengthen democratic values and processes, especially those associated with freedom of expression, mutual respect and equality.
		There is a danger to be avoided, one that unwittingly opens the door to political corruption: those who accept the paramount importance of freedom of expression to democratic values and processes may, by focusing on the former, undermine the latter.
		There is a further danger involved in a laissez-faire approach to party and election financing: when fundraising becomes the major concern of politicians and their principal organisers attention to public policy and the duty of politicians to perform their function as trustees of the public interest are consciously set aside or unwittingly neglected.

	The Tyee’s Election Central Blog » What Harper owes Quebec
		When, back in 1979, I was BC’s minister in charge of what little jurisdiction BC had over fish, the Federal government, through the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, was very strict about their jurisdiction.
		Of course, Harper will be hailed in Alberta and Quebec as a great statesman, for his efforts in devolving power and funds to the provinces.
		However, he will likely give provinces the rights that they are guaranteed under the constitution, and will likely grant Alberta and Saskatchewan the rights they should have received but were screwed on when Ottawa unilaterally declared them a province after buying them from the Hudson Bay company.

	Yonatan Reshef: Sweden
		Note, the Social Democratic Party had an unbroken run in office from 1932 to 1976 (apart from a three-month interregnum in 1936), then returned to power in 1982 and lost power again in the 1991 election, only to regain it in the 1994 election and keep it in the 1998 election.
		However, this mandate greatly expanded in the 1950s when the active labour market policy was given the pre-eminent roles of achieving both full employment and accelerated economic growth in accordance with the spirit of the Saltsjobaden Agreement.
		In 1951, economists Gosta Rehn and Rudolf Meidner of the Swedish Trade Union Confederation (L.O.) responded by devising the 'Swedish model' to simultaneously achieve full-employment, moderate inflation, decreased wage inequality, and increased economic growth.
