Canadian Acting Talent and Demands for Lack of Self-Confidence

[dewline]

Well, from where your host sits, this counts as another act of rudeness on the part of Telefilm Canada's current upper management:

It's a call for lack of confidence in our homegrown acting talent base, as far as I'm concerned. A call for our actors to lack in self-confidence as well. As if the process of trying to earn an honest living in the field of their dreams in their own country weren't hard enough for them.

Not quite sure which is the bigger error in logic, judgement and basic good manners.

You may have a different opinion, though.

I hate to say it, but these comments are ^typical^ of what I would expect from the attitude of our current (neo-con) government.

Does seem to be consistent with known policy, doesn't it?
