I have no issues with the gov funding small businesses, films and other artists as long as there is a strong check and balance.
BTW, the actress won best supporting actress in Vancouver for her role...

As for check and balance, that is where Telefilm Canada comes into play . The head of telefilm Canada is appointed by the government ( most of the time a political appointment ) but the board of review is composed of many people from various fields of the Canadian Motion Picture business ( actors, producers, exhibitors, TV, etc ...).


But you are right.... just hope that if ever you are sick, it is not a political appointee that decides of the treatment instead of a doctor.

AS for bridges, fuck the engineers ... let a minister decide .....
