Ottawa funded rock star photo gala and sex toy exhibit: Taxpayers Federation
OTTAWA, ON: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation today called on the Trudeau government to scrap its wasteful Mission Cultural Fund (MCF) which has seen millions in taxpayer dollars spent on dubious “cultural” activities.
“The Mission Cultural Fund supposedly exists for the purpose of burnishing Canada’s image around the world,” said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. “It’s hard to see how spending $51,000 to exhibit Bryan Adams’ photos at a red carpet gala in Toronto does that.”
