The gossip in Ottawa is that Canadian Culture Minister Bev Oda could be on her way out as part of a cabinet shakeup in the Harper government. Martin Knelman says that Oda wouldn’t be much missed by Toronto’s arts community. “Oda has not convinced a lot of people that she is passionately devoted to strengthening the arts, or that she thinks a creative explosion could lead the way to helping Canada achieve greatness in the 21st century.”
