Here we go again - an interview that at the very worst was MAYBE rude is turned into 'hate propaganda'? Wow. Freedom of speech abounds for those entitled ones, those so called 'artists'. If you're not with them then you're not one who disagrees but one who actually opposes and hates Canadian culture. Who are these people and why do they get to decide what Canadian culure is? Freedom haters?

Having now seen the interview clip, I see nothing hateful nor even rude on Krista's part. She asked a valid question about how this woman can justify taxpayer funding to the tune of 1.2 million dollars for her so-called art and insisted for an answer instead of letting her off the hook. I am fed up with the entitlement crowd who think they have some divine right to our money while we have no right to question how our tax dollars are doled out.

From where I sit: K.E. was a "blindsider" when she was on the CEEBEESEA chain, with her dishonestly-spliced footage from different interviews with the PM, strictly to make him look evil.

She was a librano fifth column shill when, during some heated HofC sessions, she produced questions for librano teetotaller, Pablo "I just can't blow into this thing" Rodrigues TO USE DURING Q.P. Again, ostensibly with the aim of discrediting the Conservative Government of PMSH - probably just following orders from her "bosses," whoever they may be.

I was shocked and dismayed when Sun News first trumpeted her hiring. I shall continue to be dismayed,and disappointed, should she, and whoever the h**l hired her, remain on staff.

Her pugnacious and confrontational stance, tone and style are all almost exact copies of the those traits displayed by those rabidly anti-right, left-lib-dem-prog degenerates, with the same sort of arrogant, venom-laced style of 'journalism.' As a conservative big C little c, I must declare that this sort of Ericksonian pap causes me to cringe -

note: As to the question of government grants to the arts? some years ago, when I was setting up an exhibition at a local art gallery, the gallery owner, without my knowledge applied for,and rec'd., a prov. gov't grant to cover the costs of the opening.

Took me the better part of three years, before I could finally persuade the Prov. Arts Council, to accept the money I returned too them - the $2,500 came out of my own pocket too, because the gallery had used it all up by opening night. Great wines, marvelous cheeses.

Didn't then, don't now, don't ever, want to be on the receiving end of government money.

The one who pays the piper gets to call the tune. The one who holds the gold, makes the rules.

That's not censorship, that's a case of co-opted creative types who think that the State owes them a living, but would never dare even think about accepting any sort of input when the State shows up trying to introduce any sort of critical commentary into the work.

ttfn,

t.e.&o.e

Obviously, if I don't want to be mugged by the government for a "community" that should fund itself, I'm a 'hater'. OK, I'm a 'hater' then.

Heather Mallick weighs in:

http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1017002--mallick-sun-tv-s-venom-for-hire-krista-erickson

"....As for Erickson, I am a feminist and avoid attacking women...."

Tell that to Sarah Palin.
Or Krista Erickson.

I've a gut feeling if the interviewer was male this wouldn't be much news and the "artists" not nearly as outraged.

LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!

huh, what's that..

scrag fight.

the only worse thing I can imagine would be a scream fest between Erikson and Mallick.

both CBCpravda trained.

I think this whole thing is going to backfire badly on the entitlement artists. Some 4500 complaints for what at worst could be described as rudeness is way over the top and only indicates the in vulnerability of their position.

Most folks are going to view this as, "I'm entitled to my entitlements."

Not a winning message.

Have a look at the comments on that Facebook page. They are not getting a lot of support.

"Hater" is the new "Racist" epithet for the left. It's simply a way of sticking their fingers in their ears, closing their eyes and saying "la, la, la I can't hear you".
As I indicated in a previous post, the leftist, feminist faux outrage was decidedly absent when Avi Lewis was being at least as rude to Ayaan Hirsi Ali and deliberately preventing her from answering his own questions.

Remember, we can also send letters of support to the sponsors of Sun News TV, and write letters of approval to the CBSC.

With a nick like "Lickmuffin", I should try to get a grant for some performance art.

tango juliette - good for you for returning the money - and it was your money; the gallery had used the grant..[wine and cheese..though I'll be they invoiced 'brochures, mailings, publicity'].

stan: Since I don't watch/read Mallick - did she say "As for Erikson, I'm a feminist so I avoid attacking women".?????

What about her attacks vs Palin? And is she saying that women are outside of the realm of criticism? Why can't women be criticized..and criticism isn't an 'attack'.

I'm totally opposed to arts grants. I don't see why 'artists', who are of course self-defined as such, should expect the taxpayer to subsidize them for that self-definition.

The arts community is an incestuous, clique, a cabal of self-defining, self-focused...who live off the taxpayer, while they sneer at the 'ignorance' of the peasants...who 'can't understand art'.

Is SunTV getting desperate,having one of their program hosts guest on another program?

I viewed Margie Gillis' "Chalice"the other day,and it featured the lady sitting in a chair making strange, sort of "flowing" arm movements,which segued into full body motion that was,well... "artistic", for want of a better term.

She looked very ....um... "artsy",which is all well and good, BUT WHY should taxpayers fund her artistry?

Margie,and any other artists, have at it! DO YOUR THING! Paint,sculpt,dance,film, do whatever makes you feel good, just get the hell off the taxpayer's back,and find a patron to fund your artistry.

Failing that, get a day job,like the rest of us have to. Surely talented people like you will have no trouble finding work in the real world!

I can see Ms. Gillis as a concrete finisher, they make over 25 bucks an hour,and that would fund a lot of plasticity of the mind and spasticity of the body on weekends.

In aother follow-up to the discussion, Krista Erickson and James Moore discuss the future of the CBC.

She spoke truth to power!

Keep crunching 'em Krista!

Make the entrenched leftard librano elitist snobs sweat.

Rock on rebel SNN!

Davvy - the CBC is effectively a "state broadcaster". Demonstrate otherwise.

In the interview Gillis referred to Canada - or possibly Humanity as a whole - as "the Collective". How creepy is that?

If I wanted to be part of a collective I would stop resisting.

....and I have emailed margies list of advertisers to thank them.

I'll ask again, does anybody want to buy my experiential artistic sculpture of a grain elevator and an oil rig pissing on the grave of P.E.T.?

I guess I'll have to get a grant for a million dollars then.

That was a 'vicious' attack? In what world? Most people have harsher questioning when you get stopped by a cop.

I'd be disappointed if Sun TV wasn't getting complaints. What's the point of having a right-wing news network if you don't piss off the lefties and statists as often as possible? The fact that they are so easily offended is good news because it results in the entitled class making even bigger fools of themselves by whining, crying, lashing out and generally like spoiled little monsters.

...generally acting like spoiled little monsters.

Sun news sure is exposing the bullshit that is going on in leftist circles. Good job!

Amazing that CTV never bothered to report this. O wait, no it isn't.

grok

I always wanted to be a patron of the arts but the best I can do to help with your performance art is to fed ex you a case of beer. I hope this assists you in your worthy artistic endeavor.

The arts community seems to have had a communications strategy in place ready to be launched as soon as they felt aggrieved by Sun. They were organized enough to prepare this strategy. This just proves to me that they are not individual artists expressing themselves as such, so much as they are an industry designed to procure grants and they want to protect that at all costs.

The more they complain and whine the better it is for Conservatives. Check out the last election results for proof of that.

If any of these twerps actually watched the interview, I think they would have figured margie came off pretty well. She didn't change my mind, but i was impressed she showed up and presented her case well. I think many of her supporters probably would have declared her the winner.
As for the alleged vicious attack, good Lord, Erickson told her at least three times what a "good sport" she was for appearing.
These people are incensed - and frightened - that their beliefs are being debated.

I'm with you, LC Bennett. Of course SunTV is pi**ing off the entitled, leftard crowd. They're exposing the rot and the insider stuff that all Canadians are paying for.

In my hippie days, I used to know a bunch of artists, who spent a good half of their time applying for government grants. Ironically, or maybe not, most of them were the children of affluent parents. IOW, they already had connections. All those guys know one another and like to keep things in the loop. The CPC's throwing a monkey wrench into the entitlement game and SunTV is putting the money-to-the-arts scam in the spotlight. Good on both of them!

With so many ordinary, unentitled, unconnected, not-on-the-gravy-train Canadians struggling to make ends meet, I'm glad to see the CPC cutting off never-ending grants to entitled artists who've come to expect government largesse towards them because they're "special."

And kudos to Sun TV and their other program hosts for standing behind Krista Erickson. But no kudos to CTS and their contributors for cowering when Charles McVety's program was cancelled by the CRTC and Canadian Broadcast Standards Council. Surely at least Michael Coren would have had the cojones to stand behind McVety and raise a stink.

Not that I was a fan of McVety's program -- it simply didn't appeal to me personally. But he nevertheless had the right to express his views. And I did enjoy Reverend McVety's courageous radio debates -- he often had to defend himself alone against the most disrespectful, mocking, and accusatory atheistic opponents. He did it with grace and intelligence, dealing with some of the most difficult moral issues that no one else dared to tackle. In the end he lost the war -- chalk another one up for phoney "homophobia".

Preachers are paid to tackle moral and spiritual issues -- that's their job. If clergy are not allowed to speak on these issues publicly, then we may as well eliminate clergy altogether and enforce secular atheism as the only allowable free speech in the public square (FYI, Communist Cuba apparently no longer refers to itself as "communist" -- it is now officially "secularist", and Canada appears to be falling right in line).

Again, kudos to SUN for standing behind their people. It's more than can be said for our coddled Christian networks that are satisfied with complacency and hide at the sight of any real persecution.

'"Hater" is the new "Racist" epithet for the left.' Very interesting observation Dr.D. The left seem to understand that the language used by their ilk causes irritation to anyone who has ever had the pleasure of reading books, manuscripts, articles etc. written in proper English. The term 'hater' is not a word, 'hate' is an abstract noun and it requires a verb to make it meaningful. A person can be a farmer or a rancher because both farm and ranch are concrete nouns; a 'hater' would be an attempt to make an abstract noun, hate, into a Past Participle. Not possible under the rules. 'Youth' is another such example...do those hacks do this on purpose?

The interview in question here is, as Brian and Ezra stated, a challenge to the people of this nation. Do we dare question the sacred cow 'artist'? Why are they entitled to a gument cash slop bucket? What makes that cult so 'special'? The truth is nothing makes the artist special, they are just people, they do no good for anyone but themselves and their pals. If they write, paint or sculpt something worthwhile, we, the people will support them by buying their creations. Grants to any and all from the gument should be scrapped, IMO. The gument is spending taxpayers money, the gument does not have any money except the $$ we give them via taxes - we need to have a tax revolt until all those we elected to run the nation's affairs get their priorities straight. We are buying things that we don't want - how dumb is that?

Whilst reading an op-ed at the Gob, demeaning Ford again, it hit me like bam. The Gay Taliban activists use the word bigot in the same hateful tense as those who use to call them the f word. They've become the very face of hatred they set out to fight, it's the same with most of the rabbid leftwing organization they've become the face of the monster they set out to slay.

Rose at June 30, 2011 5:24 PM:
"...demeaning Rob Ford again...it's the same with most of the rabbid leftwing organization they've become the face of the monster they set out to slay."

It's the Marxist appropriation of "Gay rights" for their own radical ideological purposes: class warfare. Same goes for "race rights", "artists' rights", etc.

The solution: attack the Commie pinkos mercilessly, and invite a homosexual home for dinner. The Commie Left WANTS backlash against Gays -- they deliberately provoke "homophobia" so they can artificially sustain the conditions for this sort of class warfare, and hence present themselves as the only solution -- absolute power to the Commie Left in order to resolve the problem that they created.

A radio commentator accurately described the process as "Hegelian dialectics" -- an essential application in Marxism: fabricate a problem then present yourself as the only solution to the problem.

In the end "Gay rights" will no longer be the domain of Gays -- it will be the exclusive domain of Commie ideologues and elites. Same goes for artists rights, minority rights, environmentalism, etc., etc. Canada is in the midst of a "soft Communist" revolution -- no guns required, but the result will be the same if it succeeds: tyranny.

We've often heard it said: "the ends don't justify the means". But in this case, "the means do not justify the ends" either.

Ricardo even gays are starting to notice how radical and fanatical the movement has become, it's no longer about equality but I believe political supremacy over the majority.

new/ok, I have a groovy new exhibit planned which involves immersing Moses, Jesus, the Buddha and Muhammed in human urine. Also, they will all be depicted having unnatural intercourse with underage enslaved gerbils. I want to include an interpretive dance routine. I need federal funding. This is a super-awesome idea, right?

Do you have any objections?

(I know, I know, it's "new", why bother.)

Erased, eh?

Rose at June 30, 2011 6:47 PM:
"...it's no longer about equality but I believe political supremacy over the majority."

Exactly, you could call it a "tyranny of the minority". Of course I remember as far back as High School social studies we learned about the dangers of a "tyranny of the majority", which occurs when a "democratic" majority abuses power to deny fundamental rights to the minority (e.g. Nazi Germany, Hamas in Gaza, etc., or even the NDP demand for a referendum to keep the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly!).

But our High School social studies teachers never foresaw the possibility for the inverse to occur: a minority to be empowered to deny the fundamental rights of the majority. It's Marx's Hegelian dialectics to perfection -- thesis, antithesis, synthesis. "Dictatorship of the proletariat" accomplished!

Submitted my complaint about Ms. Gillis and her slurping at the public trough to the CBSC - I don't expect they'll ban her from the public airwaves.

Also used Ms. Gillis' helpful list of Sun News TV advertisers to let them know how much I appreciate their decision to use Sun News TV - probably wouldn't see their messages if not for Sun.

Black Mamba

f**** off

We know all Nonmuslim girls and boys are virgin

Yes they are!

problems with you
You are oo 'Black" and/or too brown colour

you can see all truth crystal clear

and usually black used EH it is better Erase

In the weird world of the left, criticism of the waste of OUR money is considered hatred.

From the Face Book list of advertisers, I suggest we all contact them and thank them for sponsoring a channel that allows millions of Canadians to hear topic discussed from OUR point of view.

After all ... it's OUR money.

If you listen to the left, you would think they own the world and we are only allowed to fund it with no voice on how it's run.

It wouldn't be so bad if the "slurping at the public trough" were meted out objectively. But the bureaucrats giving out the free cash are unashamedly biased Left -- how many documentaries on the pro-Life movement, one of the many excellent Gospel bands, or the artistic accomplishments of mainstream or conservative "starving artists" have they financed lately? How much of the "art" appeals to families, is non-political, or would be appreciated by the regular Joe/Jane taxpayer/voter/worker?

I just read the posts on Margie's Face Book Wall, it's a group masturbation going on there. Hahahaha sort a cum by ya.

The thing that really bugs me is that Krista was quite polite with this "biatch" and now the biatch has the audacity to misrepresent the interview as "hate propaganda". Krista thanked the biatch for "being a good sport", then gave her "her moment in the SUN" to allow her the last word. And the biatch appeared flattered in the end.

The reason this woman is mad is because Krista beat her intellectually -- conservatives aren't supposed to be intelligent, they're only allowed to fulfill the Left stereotype of ignorant cretins.

I honestly don't see how the CBSC could come to the conclusion that the interview was "hate propaganda" when they review the tape. And if they do, then it's time for Parliament to abolish that body, or the Minister to fire people for fabricating phoney "hate propaganda" charges.

I would rather Miss Gillis be hung by her own words. That being said, if her "passion" for art and the funding that comes with it didn't sustain her during the interview, that is hardly the fault of the interviewer.

And Heather Mallick is a spiteful twit.

There is no need for Parliament to intervene anywhere. The 'board' receiving the complaints is the same one that tried to ban Dire Straits a few months back. It is the 'industry' regulating itself.

I hate it when they take away my 'arm waving' funding!
So that means it's hate speech, no?

I hate it when I'm asked to justify my place at the trough, so that must be hate speech too?

Conflict resolution? Send her to Afghanistan, when her dance has cured the woes there next on to Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and so on. Is there nothing that creative arts paid for by taxpayers can't solve? Why let ineffective governments and military experts solve problems when all we need to do is dance to victory. I'm gonna go dance myself to the loo so I can puke.

Had any of you ever heard of Margie Gillis prior to this interview? Neither had I.

I go to the theatre and to galleries. Yet I've never heard of the woman.

I watched a few of her You Tube clips. She's a fraud with little talent who's managed to cobble together a living augmented by your and my tax dollars.

And then she's shocked that anyone would question either her abilities or her entitlements.

Good for Krista Erickson. I don't particularly care for what she's done in the past but right now she's doing good work.

Let's let the CBSC abd other censoring agencies know that there's been a game change in Canada.

The "arts" community has not only shot itself in both feet, but followed up with a shot to their head. I doubt there is any government program that has more widespread disdain than the official "arts". Privately, when I talk to people about some government sponsored art exhibit, generally I'll hear "this is f*****g crap". And, in 99% of cases it is.

People figure that they're just not cultured enough to understand the finer points of government sponsored art. When Sun TV begins airing the concerns of the majority of the population about this "art", suddenly people realize that what they thought was crap is viewed that way by the majority of the population. That's the truth that the "arts community" wants suppressed at any cost.

Back in my university days, the few interactions I had with "artists" were uniformly negative. They were an entitled bunch who disdained "commercial art" and lived in a rarified world where only a small number of "art experts" understood what they were doing and it was the duty of government to provide them with money for them to create their "art".

I also know artists who are doing very well financially and I have no problem spending hundreds of dollars on one of their pieces because I like it. They don't have any connection with the "official artists" and I'm sure their work is considered to be crass commercial garbage by the enlightened parasitic "artists".

For a group of individuals who supposedly values freedom of expression, they're surprisingly quick to demand that certain ideas be quashed. Also, I've noticed a surprising lack of korans in pig shit or similar islamic religious art. It seems that the expressiveness of these self-styled artistic prima-donna's is quite narrowly focused and I'm surprised there isn't more soviet style 1930's art being produced. In comparison with some of the crap I've seen produced with my tax dollars the socialist realism would be far preferable as it requires mastery of ones medium to do it well.

The majority of practical artists I know do art because they enjoy doing it. They all have daytime jobs and might play in a band during the night earning a few hundred dollars on a good gig, but for them it's doing their thing which is fun, not expecting to be supported by the government. Art is a luxury and in tough economic times these "artists" had better have something else they can do to feed themselves.

Loki says: "They were an entitled bunch who disdained "commercial art" and lived in a rarified world where only a small number of "art experts" understood what they were doing and it was the duty of government to provide them with money for them to create their "art"."

Well said and notice the same reasoning behind climate scientists, another pampered breed. How often have you taken on some twit in a comment area of a blog only to be told "what degrees do you have, and quote your peer reviewed papers. If you don't have these, you have no right to comment!"

Over the last forty years or so, there has been an explosion in the worship and belief of "the expert" mostly driven by the UN who sees a perfect world in which "experts" unchallenged by the masses will rule with a benign hand. Unfortunately, the so-called "experts" believe in all this and are appalled that we would even question them. Artists are part and parcel of this perfect world as they have been told they are the new economy. The UN is currently pushing for societies to "transform" into cultural economies where happiness indices will replace the GDP.

If people wanted to watch arts it could pay it's own way.

Any art that resonates with the public will find it's own way.The ability to communicate with your consumer is basic to successful arts exploration.

Would J.K Rowling have been successful if she had published in Klingon?
Robert Bateman drives less acomplished artists crazy because his paintings speak to people, and sell well.
Vancouver's Bard on the Beach is sold out yearly because it presents a good product, masterfully presented, Plays about terrorists? not so much.

Margy Gillis reminds me of an older version of the nubile hippy chicks who danced by the fire so many years ago.
Sadly most of us grew up and became self supporting. In Margy Gillis's case , we have a failure to launch.

Back in the Mulroney era,I saw an article about the funding by Canada Council on the Arts. I don't have a link to it,unfortunately.

The article stated that there was a warehouse in Ottawa that was full of "art" works done by CCA funded artists.

Critics at the time said that if there was any value to these works,they should be sold off to pay for the grants,but CCA proponents used the same bafflegab as Ms.Gillis to dismiss this idea.

Does anyone know if that warehouse still exists?

btw, three of my favourite artists are Bateman,Colville, and Danby,all of whom are dismissed by the Margie Gillis/CCA types as "mere illustrators". None of the three is supported by government funding.

I don't "know" art, but I know what I like.

Helen D @10:50 - "Had any of you ever heard of Margie Gillis prior to this interview?"

Nope.

"I watched a few of her You Tube clips. She's a fraud with little talent who's managed to cobble together a living augmented by your and my tax dollars."

Yeah, she just sort of lurches around, doesn't she?

re @7:34 - if I didn't know that there was no such thing as bigotry is Islam I'd swear the new is a horrible racist. (I am not actually Black. I am a Quentin Tarantino character! But of course she can't understand that.)

REAL artists pay their own bills.

Shame on Sun TV for allowing this to happen. So K.E. 'looks good' pummeling some dancer who is blindsided and has to defend herself?

Conservatives don't like funding arts. So what else is new? Public funding of art is always controversial and by extension indefensible.

This looked like a pair of grade 7 students engaged in their first debate...one where the moderator was moderating for the first time. It produced cheap political theatre.

Here's an interpretive dance, which interprets Margie Gillis and her ilk:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7B4_FRHrcs&feature=related

"I am not actually Black. I am a Quentin Tarantino character!"

Perhaps you should use,"person-of-color mamba" as your nom de net.

Margie Gillis appears a bit lazy in that she has made it difficult for her artsy follwers to send in their complaints to SNN sponsors. So let me make it easier for our side.

At the end of the letter I sent to each sponser (reproduced below) either by e-mail or snail mail, you'll find the mailing address or e-address for each of the sponsors.

I really urge you to get on this, especially to those that require a delivered letter. They will sit up and take notice of we 'un-washed masses', for it is us who largely buy their products and who most appreciate their sponsorship of SNN.

I'm also including the e-addresses for Heritage Minister James Moore who REALLY needs to hear our voices regarding the continued subsidization of uselessness.

-------------------------------------

Dear Sir or Ms.

You may have experienced a number of 'complaints' regarding your sponsorship of Sun News Network, generated by members of the 'Canadian arts community' who are directed to do so via the FaceBook page of Canadian dancer, Margie Gillis. Despite the fact that she threatens a boycott of your company and censorship by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council, I think they may be safely ignored.

You'll note that any questioning of publically funded grants must be a result of 'hate' and politically driven 'propaganda' because her work is so important to 'world peace' and 'plasticity of the mind' that there can surely be no other reason. As a consumer and taxpayer, I urge you to continue sponsoring Sun News Network. It is the only cable network that does not march in lockstep with the other major media outlets and it has become a premier viewing platform for many Canadians.

Bear in mind too, that the $1.2 million in grants received by Ms. Gillis and friends is only a tiny fraction of the re-distribution of tax dollars to the 'arts community' and that every dollar taken from our pockets is a dollar that cannot be spent with companies such as TELUS. If the 'arts community' has something of value to offer, they will find that we will willingly spend our after-tax dollars with them. If their art does not resonate with us, we will not. That's the free market system and anything else is simply socialism.

SDA delivers! We accept whatever our SunTV spokespeople deliver... even when it's boring and annoying.
Go Ezra! Another story about the CBC? Love ya! Lilley's hair looks fab, and he's really digging into Conservative spending habits... when he's not pondering how much Mansbridge's haircut runs taxpayers. Don't worry about smart bombs, it's evil Pete's expense account that will ruin the country!
And those muslims - please. All they do is work!
Why no one is paying attention is beyond me, and probably most of the rest of the country, too! Amazing, isn't it?
