Public funding for trash
Every time the issue of removing or qualifying public funding of the arts is discussed in Canada, the liberal classes throw up a smoke-screen of confusion. It is the imposition of values, they argue, and a form of censorship that will stifle creativity. Let’s be bold and honest here. Most contemporary writers and especially artists and television directors are about as creative as a soiled puddle. What they most certainly are, however, is dependent on the financial generosity of the public they so obviously despise.
