Only in Canada

The Vancouver Olympic bid announced $20 million dollars (actually I believe that's US) for an arts and cultural festival before and during the Olympics (apparently a pretty standard part of an Olympics program). Canadian artists are complaining that its insufficient. Never mind that almost no one will pay attention to it and that this is found money - they simply want more. Its hard to believe. Brian Williams may spend 30 seconds talking about the arts festival. People might attend if there's bad weather one day and events are cancelled.

This is free money folks. Take it and say thanks. The alternative was nothing - not more. The cultural snobs feeling shortchanged again.
