The Arts in Canada are doomed
Well known Canadian author Margaret Atwood has come out against the Harper Conservative government over the substantial cuts to the arts. She shown boldness when she told CBC Radio directly that the Conservatives hate those who dedicate their lives to moving our country further ahead to achieve a cultural society. I believe we have become a cultural society; however I believe that the Conservatives’ agenda has changed our path of direction and we are heading backwards due to their gross uncultured understanding.
The Conservatives have constantly proven they are unreasonably ignorant when it comes to preserving and the protection of the Canadian identity as we move closer towards American annexation of our differing and vibrantly positive understandings of how the world turns from the Canadian point-of-view. The ignorance of the Conservative agenda has damaged Canada’s reputation at country and international levels over the course of the past fourteen months under their relatively poor guidance.
Canadians are coming to realize that they made the right decision on January 23, 2006 by giving Prime Minister Stephen Harper a relatively small minority so they couldn’t push to implement their notions of mismanagement and leadership. Canadians have recognized that the Liberals are pushing harder then ever for change in government and will affect the results in the upcoming election.
The Liberals have been a constant ally of Canadian artists, authors, actors and musicians throughout its history as the prime leader in preserving, protecting, enriching and building the cultural society that all Canadians alike (except for the Conservatives) dream for. We’ve recognized that our artists have contributed a lot to the Canadian identity since pre-confederation and we need to award them for their efforts and the Liberals are the only party that has and will continue to do this.
The Liberals have constantly supplied young Canadians the tools and financial support to be successful in the ever so demanding and competitive international markets for literature, music, film and art. The arts are the body, mind and soul of the creativity that has made our country strive and the Conservatives are planning our country’s utter destruction.

Atwood “came out” against Stephen Harper long before he was even Prime Minister. This isn’t new.

Yup you are probably right about that. Whatever no she didn’t.

Toronto Tory seems to be missing the point, Conservatives are uncultured (unless a homogeneic version of transplanted British culture is to be Canadian) and are afraid of culture.
Of course Conservatives like to keep the people ignorant and make them fearful, it is much easier to control them.
