There’s an excellent discussion going on over at Bookninja about how the arts in Canada, and specifically the Canada Council, are funded. It was sparked by this article written by Margaret Atwood in the Globe and Mail. Long-time readers (or really even people who read posts from last week) will know that I’m not a fan of Atwood, but in this case I think she makes some compelling points. There’s a lot more to be said, of course, but something has to be said, and something has to be done. I chimed in (briefly) over at Bookninja. You should too!
(Oh yeah, for those of you that don’t know, Sir Robert Borden is the dude on the Canadian hundred dollar bill. Which explains the title of this post. Forreals.)
