But there no longer is money for the job centres! Makes sense, doesn't it???

The rules of applying for a grant with Heritage Canada are clearly outlined, and as this magazine is not considered pornographic in nature.

As a Publisher, and a tax payer, what concerns is not in fact the content of the magazines receiving grants (because depending where you stand one might be angered by lesbian / gays, or conversely, those magazines
containing religious content) - the Charter is clear as to the breadth of content allowable in our, thankfully, free country. Cosmo gets grants - how is this magazine any different? Oh - let me tell you how it's different - Cosmo has the greatest sell-through rate in the country, and it still gets a grant.

My greatest concern is that the two largest recipients of grants in this country are Rogers and Transcontinental. Rogers just released quarterly results - billions of dollars in profits. Why are we funding hugely profitable companies, when we should be providing grants to innovative start-ups? I have always felt that there should be a revenue ceiling on companies applying for grants. The magazines with the highest subscriber numbers (Chatelaine and Canadian Living), receive the highest grants - over one million each.

Rogers and Transcontinental are supported via their shareholders and earn incredible amounts of profit. Take grants away from them. Oh - and Thomson Reuters too. Yes - they also receive grants. That's far more shocking than Summun indeed.

Biased article, show me a "price list" of all cultural crap we the tax payers paid for, an you will find "cultural" even means "Lad Magazines".

So the question is should we fund this stuff an more importantly who's really getting the money, I bet you will find a lot of "friends" of politicians getting this money. Ultimately this type of BS is just creating an "elitist" class that gets more & more power at the expense of the rest of us peons. Gov must never be allowed to use our tax dollars for such ends. Society ITSELF will create it's on culture, it does not need big parasite government's "HELP".

In Iceland the countries oldest bank was SOLD to 'you guessed it" FRIENDS of the politicians who put it up for sale, an sold it dirt cheap to a bunch of SHADY businessmen, then the housing bubble burst. This is a prime example of Cronyism.

Further proof that we must do whatever it takes to keep Quebec in confederation.

if it was from any other province it would have been cut...

Quebecor has recieved over 500 million in subsidy from Canadian taxpayers.........I am more annoyed about that

I finally have some high profile Canadian uuummm Culture for the garage. Thankyou Harpo finally you did something that everyone who had an open spot on the garage wall agrees with.

The Canadian culture sector should be protected, and Canadian magazines definitely count (even the dreaded NAFTA treaty allows for this). Better to send grants to the cultural sector than money to foreign arms manufacturers for things like jets we don't need

Is the CBC behind this

What's this? Phase Risque of the Canada Economic Eraction Plan?

Classy choice of slideshow for this story, HuffPo.

I think VT is just looking for another babysitter.
