Hi Paddy,
I’m glad to see you’ve been tracking the arts cuts happening up north….
Just wanted to highlights that speeches from this “Art VIPs” talk (including a vid of Naomi Klein giving a rousing talk) are online at http://departmentofculture.ca
Some folks up here see a parallel between the culture wars Palin is pushing and the suppression of “lefty” art by our own conservative government. Not as dramatic, us being Canadian and all, but still sad.
