loaded comment...

....about the role of state in cultural matters. This one's from yesterday's Globe and Mail piece about federal funding of arts festivals:

"If the objective is that people have a good time, I don't see why I should be excluded"
-- Minister of Canadian Heritage Bev Oda

Oda was responding to suggestions from Quebec MPs that Oda should stay away from Montreal's summer festivals if the government wasn't going to pony up the money, but that little quip says much more than that.
