This week the federal government eliminated over 13 million dollars in arts funding, money that was doled out one plane ticket, one exhibition at a time, to promote Canada's image abroad. Apparently the US spends half a billion annually-is it any wonder the world can't tell us apart?
This government has been an utter disaster on the arts. Thinking about it depresses me-for a supposedly nationalist politician, Harper shows no interest in anything authentically Canadian.
He's too busy thinking about how to eliminate equality challenges under the Charter, win votes in Quebec, and destroy the environment. And please note, I am not politically affiliated, this just makes me crazy...
