For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 27, 2023

My mom and I volunteer in the town theatre, so we definitely understand.

Yeah, I also help with the local arts council with “arts in the Couve” Often I have to run to Craft Warehouse for supplies before hand.

From Lynn’s Comments: At this time, I was on the board of directors at the local theatre, and for the first time, was overwhelmed by how tight the budgets were. Every show had to be subsidized by grants, donations, and the kindness of volunteers. For something so vital to the community, why are our theatres so poorly funded?

Well this comedy line seems to have turned down a blind alley! The library theater guild wants to perform two shows about the Patterson’s trying to redecorate their house with new curtains and sofas??

What is the sound of Canadian art happening?

A little bit off topic, but, Texas must have the same budget problems as most areas. And yet, they could find the $$$ for those buoys they bought and placed in the river. They look to be fairly expensive devices to me.

Instead of saying ‘’the school needs a roof’’ try saying; ‘’we need barbed wire, to make booby traps, to maim and drown refugees in the Rio Grande’’ and … here’s your money!

Now, some news from Loonie Land, Boston Celtics just gave some goof a contract to bounce and throw a ball for $300 million. Still think The Rich aren’t morally corrupt?

BECAUSE………..‘the powers at be’ are too involved in using funds to fund their ‘own pet projects’ instead of projects for the betterment of the community !! ! !

Try remodeling your Living Room with your ideas on his salary…

What’s that curly thing coming out of her phone? Some kind of new USB cable?

An excellent observation from 19 years ago that is still relevant today.

Wouldn’t Canada have the same “government funding” as England—or formerly did until BREXIT invited itself in to track mud on the carpets?

The way Elly is spending money the Pattersons will soon be standing in line for government cheese.

Hummmm, CHEESE!!

Welcome to the real world, Elly. Most of us don’t have the money to do everything we want to do. Not even governments.
