Canadian tax dollars spent well in England

The Canada House art show brings to mind recent stories kerfuffles over art at the Canadian War Museum, where some artsy-fartsy curatorial minds seem to think the death of a thief in Somalia, and the VD rate among the Canadian Army in Korea exemplify the service of Canadians in our military.

Beaverbrook himself made a major contribution to the war effort of course, and must be given credit for collecting the art as well.

I perfectly understand GWB's comment about those of us who live in Canada understanding the syndrome. Books have been written on it (e.g. Granatstein's). I like it here just fine, nonetheless, but N.Z. or Oz definitely have their attractions. (My dad said I should have emigrated to Aus. when I was 20 - missed my chance.) Next best alternative for us Canucks is Alberta, or that large country to the south, snowbird-style.

Canada does have some brilliant war art.
