I can’t be bothered to find the source but I remember reading Linden MacIntyre comment that obviously the CBC makes every decision with the Liberal Party’s interests in mind because they believe that the fate of the CBC depends on it. He then had to apologize and walk back his comments obviously under duress, which shows what an insular little tyranny every Canadian elite institution is. Everything relies so much on government largesse which requires you to have the correct opinions and beliefs and to conform, which these days amounts to sucking the trannycock.
I did a music degree and in a ‘jazz improvisation’ course I was in, we spent a suspicious amount of time learning how to successfully apply for grants from various govt institutions to fund music projects. Right then I was kind of like “huh. This is all fake. Canadian music isn’t meritocratic at all; 90% of this garbage doesn’t deserve to see the light of day because nobody listens to it and it’s just paid busywork for basically cultural parasites.” I kinda laughed when the entire music program at my college was shuttered a couple of years after I graduated during govt cutbacks; the butthurt from all the faculty from the program on my Facebook was kind of amusing because the gravy train for all these pampered snobs larping as jazzmen was coming to an end.
