Paul Dewar has demanded that Prime Minister Stephen Harper confirm that the proposed Portrait Gallery of Canada, which had been planned for Ottawa, will be built in Harper's long-time home city of Calgary and will be partly funded by the energy company Encana.

Just rumours I guess, but if true I'm sure it would brighten up the artistic scene here in Calgary. It'd be nice to have a few more cultural offerings to tourists, particular at a National Gallery level. I also think portraits are more palatable to Western Canadian tastes, rather than say, a modern art gallery with dyed feces on canvas.
