You don't fall in with the Obama camp, do you?

Maybe I'm just a cynical American, but I'm wondering what the catch is with that money.

 There's a lot of talented people in Toronto.  However, over the years, they've all been moving out to Montreal or BC (or in my case Charlottetown) because of the tax credits that those provinces provide.  I'm a native Torontonian born and raised, but the environment just wasn't there for game development.  There were very very few studios.  This is definitely exciting news.

I agree that this is probably a good thing.  I'm just too cynical to take it purely at face value.

1) Health Care wait times are not as long as you think. It's actually very short. However, there is the occasion where the wait time is too long in some areas, so a person may go to the states. However, the is more rare then you think, but Conservative American media exploits it like crazy so the States won't adopt free health care.

2) Kids coming out of high school with a 4th grade reading level is usually not a failure of the education system. At least in Canada. Many times, it's usually family problems, or some kind of personal problem. Do you expect the government could solve those problems? They may try, and it may help some people, but they can't really solve everything unless you do something like the Truman show.

You know, when you want to critisize a government, it's best that you actually know the difference between a provincial and a federal government. Because the Ontario Government - currently Dalton McGuinty's Liberal Government which has lead my province to become a have-not province - made this decision, which has next to nothing to do with the federal government.

Next time figure out which government you're critisizing and you won't look so stupid, and then perhaps someone will take you seriously (but hopefully not)

Edit: Also I had to come back because it bothered me that I made no remark about the typical liberal remark in regards to the 'culture cut'. I suggest you look up what the cuts actually were. a .5% cut from money that went to a studio that produced such culteral masterpieces as "Young kids fucking" (actual movie, look it up. Granted it's not child pornography, but it's still nothing my fucking money should fund), or 'art' that involved starving a dog and putting food just out of it's reach, because it was so "deep" to try and watch a starving dog eat unsuccessfully. That's that's the art that .5% of the art budget was cut. God forbid.


Jesus christ, you idiots who prattle on like you have a right to talk about this shit annoy me to no end. You don't even know the BASIC differences between our governments that any second grader can tell you, and then you think you're educated enough to talk about the finer details in our budget without know what they're funding, how much is being cut, but not letting that hold you back from announcing harper as a "culture killer". I thought that argument ended years ago, but you just brought it back up. Thanks for that. Also thank you GamePolitics for putting McGuinty's smug face here. What a recipe to ruin my day.
