Stephen Harper recently made yet another move to cut arts funding in Canada. Looks like this will definitely cost him votes in the upcoming federal Canadian election in October, especially in Quebec where his party, the Conservatives - more accurately, the' Conservative Reform Alliance Party' (you put the acronyms together) was hoping to steal some seats from the weaker Bloc, and Liberal parties.
This is his third attack on arts funding in this year alone, or at least in allowing a tax shelter to exist to aid in film productions!
Atwood's letter is a little lengthy, but reads easily, and hits Harper hard!
Oh BTW, Harper is seen by many as Canadian's vest-sweater wearing, baby holding, version of George Bush. (Don't trust what you see!)
