No, these are not winners from the Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes. These are the lucky recipients of tax dollars wrenched from the pockets of hard working Canadians and distributed through the Canada Council.</p>\n<p>That is right. You do not even have to live in Canada to receive a grant from the Canada Council. No, sir, if you do not like the winners here, no problem. You too can receive $18,000 to live in sunny Los Angeles, California, just like John Friesen, or $18,000 to live in gay Paree just like Shonagh Adelman.</p>\n<p>If you want to write a book, ponder poetry or paint pictures, come on down because the price is right in the Canada Council $87 million grant giveaway. Remember, you cannot win if you do not enter.</p>",
