In part two of this week's attack on culture in Canada, Stephen Harper's Conservatives have cut $2.5 million from the budget of the National Film Board. It now appears that Canadian producers will have even less money to create and promote films that fulfill the government's new puritanical requirements.
Not cut from the budget, however, is Harper's fashion advisor. Given that Harper's hair is even worse than the coiffe of the creep in No Country For Old Men, taxpayers not getting very good value for their money.

Frankly, I'm sick of the "collective" mentality that percolates in the socialist minds of about 60% of Canadians. The thought that we should steal money from the productive citizens to give it to the non-productive is repulsive.
If you can’t make a good movie without government welfare, then get another job!
Mr. Potato Head.
If art was actually worth something, artists wouldn't need funding (welfare).
I agree with everybody here
