Wasn't this the big, hairy-ball issue...
...that turned around all the voters in Quebec?
I'm holding this book, I'm thumbing through the pages with their luxuriant displays of vaginal flora and naked women smeared in paint or bound with twine and – due to the presence of the two men seated on either side of me – it's getting a little weird until I break the ice and explain that I am on my way to a feminist art exhibition in Vancouver.Good grief.
I am an art critic. I am a feminist.
This is art.

FROM THE COMMENTS:
Finally, a few key works were cut from the Vancouver show, like Mary Kelly's landmark Post-Partum Document (which famously displayed the soiled diapers of the artist's newborn son, accompanied by records of his food intake)*

Yikes! As a female, I am embarrassed. We are not as shallow as the feminists make us out to be. Most of us are real women with real families where our kid scoring a hockey goal is real art.
Well then Hunter, I guess you real women aren't "REAL women". At least not according to our elite women who run things like feminist art exhibits!
Don't worry about it though, my wife is your kind of real woman. And she wouldn't be caught dead at that feminist art show either.
BTW, both my wife and I voted for another "real woman" in our riding. She was our conservative candidate...
I think Quebec did not like a doofus in a sweater vest.
It might be very educational if each week the name of someone who has received a grant and an example of their work might explain what and who was cut.
Has any Quebec movie ever had mass appeal across Canada. I know some shorts have been up for Oscars but I don't know if any ever won.
Is it fair for all canadians to fund a few artists who only have appeal in Quebec. Have any grants been given to the Cowboy Poets in Alberta. With a looming deficit next year a lot more useless things and groups must be cut drasticlly.

"anon says... I think Quebec did not like..."
well, nonny... thank goodness there are sensitive, artsy, folks just like yourself... willing to stand up for luxuriant public displays of vaginal flora and sado-masochism.
it surprises me... not at all

So, are Canadian taxpayers footing the bill here?

Hope I am not paying for this.
