 * I fixed it so it says that they did not wear new shoes on budget day. Whoever you are, thanks for pointing out this error. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 21:24, 17 April 2007 (UTC)


 * No Problem. My pleasure. TecTec 22:31, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Ostentatious non-reshoeing?
Didn't some finance minister at some point ostentatiously not wear new shoes, in order to symbolize reduced spending? - Montréalais (talk) 05:31, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It might have been Gary Collins in BC, who I recall refused to wear new shoes to symbolize BC being unable to afford such extravagances, but because I couldn't find a source that said that I didn't include it. Is that what you were looking for? Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 07:16, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
