Boondoggle Boomerang.

So. I'm sure we've all grown accustomed in the last twenty years or so to having the government decide through the CRTC what we can see and and what we hear. We've also accepted that the government will take money from us to give to various "artists" and well-connected "visionaries" in order to protect our fragile and important Canadian Culture. The unstated rational for both of these sad realities of life in Canada is that the rapacious Americans will conquer the weak minds of our population if we let our guards down for a second.

So. Now those same governments that have worked so hard to create this almost universally accepted vision have gone so googly-eyed over bringing a US celebrity to Canada that they have thrown a million dollars at him. Of your money. Not the same money of yours that is being used to protect you from him. This is different money.

So. This celebrity comes to Canada and pisses all over the sacred cows of Canadian Culture. Maybe I should be angry, but I'm too busy laughing.
