I love me some Chatelaine and Canadian Living and Fashion (for reals!) but I also find it ironic that the mags with the most ads are also among the ones that get the most federal cash.Leah Sandalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586221448338828889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342911384518459004.post-40501660322309675072011-04-19T12:09:33.849-04:002011-04-19T12:09:33.849-04:00Clampdown, methinks.

There are reports that local conservative candidates are being told not to appear at local riding debates. <br /><br />As for the periodical fund, of course they announced a continuation. It's doing its job of appearing to support print culture while making sure none of those nasty little culture mags are getting any of the funding.Michael Marandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342911384518459004.post-50238279811042618122011-04-19T11:48:45.375-04:002011-04-19T11:48:45.375-04:00Wow, that is an incredible resource, Michael. Than...Wow, that is an incredible resource, Michael. Thanks for posting. Zero conservative party response... crazy! Did you notice in the Ottawa event listing there was not Conservative response either? Not a sausage.<br /><br />I don't expect the arts to be coddled by the parties, but I would expect a party to have some talking points or policies ready to copy and paste from somewhere. <br /><br />Part of me wonders if they're kind of like "screw it, we made our effort." I know that the Canada Periodical Fund, for instance, was restored or kept on balance for funding in the recent budget that got turned down. No cuts anyway. Maybe they were hoping (er, quite incorrectly) that the arts community (or at least parts of it) would already be behind them based on prior announcements like that.<br /><br />Who knows, though? Of course the whole Conservative party communications clampdown must have something to do with it.Leah Sandalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586221448338828889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342911384518459004.post-5779294291588562282011-04-19T11:44:16.309-04:002011-04-19T11:44:16.309-04:00And the culture survey of the majors by the CCA ha...And the culture survey of the majors by the CCA has been released.
