Comments on: Another Lie: Funding Cuts To The Arts http://thesecretsofvancouver.com/wordpress/another-lie-funding-cuts-to-the-arts/canada-election “Where Just Being 'Right' Is Wrong" Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:39:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: machiavelli http://thesecretsofvancouver.com/wordpress/another-lie-funding-cuts-to-the-arts/canada-election/comment-page-1#comment-184 machiavelli Thu, 25 Sep 2008 16:40:47 +0000 http://thesecretsofvancouver.com/wordpress/?p=641#comment-184 Why do far-left wing artists, who produce films that most erudite Canadians repudiate, consider that they are entitled to a guarantee annual income paid for by the tax payers? Most Canadians comprehend that artists should be paid pursuant to the quality of their work, just like Joe Lunch Bucket in the factory, rather than because they are members of a socialistic sector of the economy that sucks up to left-wing politicians. A authentic fiscal conservative Prime Minister would have instantaneously expedited very, very substantial cuts to the arts as well as most other government spending. For example, a legitimate, small-c fiscal/social conservative Prime Minister would have immediately announced the deletion of the $1 billion of useless tax dollars squandered annually on the extremely far-left bias CBC. Most Canadians would prefer to see these squandered tax dollars materialize in their personal bank accounts. In an age of numerous Canadian television and radio networks, satellite networks, and of course the internet, there is no longer any requisite for a government-owned, and tax payers paid for, TV and/or radio network; especially one ran by left-wing affirmative action bimbos and watched/ listened to mostly by the far-left, but paid for my people who actually work for a living and pay taxes. Unfortunately Canada does not have a legitimate fiscal and/or social small-c conservative Prime Minister who would expedite a non-socialist agenda that would diminish our excessive tax bill. A truly genuine small-c conservative would recognize that taxpayers, rather than bureaucrats, are more proficient at spending their own money. Regrettably after this election, genuine small-c fiscal and/or social conservatives will still not be represented in the House of Commons.

If the Nutty Professor makes it a condition of funding that all Canadian television shows must be a totally Canadian operation, how long does anyone think it will take the U.S. arts industry to demand, and get, the same restrictions in their country. Of course, that will allow the whiners in this country to demand more money to cover the loss in incomes.

Journalists and actors get to bitch together while share taxpayer subsidized grub. The solution would be to make the CBC'ers and ACTRA reps share the hospital food with doctors and nurses at any of the number of institutions a few blocks from the CBC building on University Ave in Toronto. It might quiet them down at least just a little. Why are they never challenged on anything by the media: their astronomical figures $85 Billion dollars net economic benefit? the fact that they spend so much of the subsitdy agitiating left leaning political causes? etc? bob Alberta Girl

I would love to know. I read of a football field inflatable banana that was to be released over Texas or somewhere, and that it was funded by our so called arts program. Any truth in this? Just wondering. Does anyone know exactly what programs were cut? I would love to know.
