To me the Olys are a cultural event and a positive way to promote Canada on the International stage, so good for the government for blowing up the spending for that.
Still not sure why the government should be in the business of arts and film work and music.
I like the idea of the government helping parents to get their kids interested in Arts programs through funding/tax cuts.
