Why Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper Will Continue to Attack the Arts – Praxis Theatre

  • Why Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper Will Continue to Attack the Arts – Praxis Theatre – Will we talk about the arts next election in relation to harnessing our imaginations and creativity within a complex and multidimensional culture? Or will we discuss the arts in relation to whether we should use tax dollars to support terrorism? These are the types of paradigms that are being established in the discourse leading up to the next election.<br />
    <br />
    If Harper succeeds in connecting arts funding and supporting terrorism, it will fit in well with a campaign that paints public funding for political parties that replaces the influence of massive donations by corporations and unions as supporting separatism, a coalition government as advocating socialism, and an inquiry into the largest series of civil rights violations in Canadian history at G20 as supporting anarchism.

A ‘lil bit of linkage on the election and arts funding front: … Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper was recently forced to retract a ridiculous … bird out of [your] nasty, disgusting, personal attack ads. … Martin Knelman over at the Star is doubtful many voters will really care about this. ..praxis 2praxis 2 testpraxis 2 study guides
