Royal Winnipeg Ballet received government money without referendum. Extortion!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What utter nonsense.

Speaking of nonsense.
Look children, if you can't understand the nuance, then you can't have the discussion. Nobody once said anything about forcing the price of beer down except you and a couple of other dim-witted posters. And I understand that's because you can't easily grasp that concept, but it's not something that was ever up for discussion.
Subsidizing the ballet - a not-for-profit arts organization - couldn't be any more of a false equivalency, regardless of your incapacity to understand it.
But when P.T. Barnum made the remark that nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people, he was referring to people like you. And I'm happy to see you're impressed with yourself as part of this group because, like the Chipmans, I rely on your ignorance too...
If you're so upset about IKEA being subsidized, perhaps you should have made an effort to point that out to your councilor. But since it's evident you're not qualified to have the discussion, I'm not surprised you didn't.
