Canada brings down ax on TV, film funding

[Canuckistanian]

21. Almost every Government department is being cut that much

It's pretty much universal.

That said, Harper and his cronies HATE arts and culture funding. And they've been crowing about shutting down the CBC for years now - because it "competes" with commercial networks.

And they're de-funding science research big time, especially where climate science is concerned. They've already shut down an Arctic monitoring station and have gagged environmental scientists. And anyone who speaks ill of the Tar Sands will find themselves under close scrutiny and ridicule.

This is the most RW extreme government we've ever had and it scares me just thinking what they'll attack next.
