		<title>How Ottawa Is Losing In The Arts-Funding Game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Council for the Arts in Ottawa has just kicked some butt. It was written in bureaucratese, which is probably wise when criticizing bureaucrats, but there’s fighting words in the summary of a report the council just released.]]></description>

		<title>Ottawa&#8217;s Loyalty Is Beautiful Music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[’d never heard of Five Man Electrical Band before moving to Ottawa, but its legendary reputation intrigued me and Its impending performance at Super Ex would be a rare opportunity to catch them live. So there I was, surrounded by the neon lights of carnival rides, the microphone feedback of chatty prize tents and all the fenced-off alleyways of the parking lot sprawl.  And I was lost.]]></description>

		<title>Fiddling With Canadian Culture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was told yesterday that I had missed Ottawa’s best jam session of the year. It happened last weekend at D’Arcy McGee’s in Orleans, right across the street from the Shenkman Arts Centre and 30 minutes after the final award had been given out there by the Canadian Grand Master’s Fiddling Championships.]]></description>

		<title>When Short and Simple Doesn’t Mean Dumb</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In April, when Orca Books published four short novels in its new Rapid Reads series, the scoffing started immediately: 20,000 words isn’t even a novella, maybe a long short story; it’s an old mousetrap, and not even a better one; stick to what you know (children and young-adult books), don’t dumb-down adult fiction. Makes you wonder why an industry in such trouble, like Canadian publishing, can be so petty.]]></description>

		<title>Why Arts Writing Needs Digressions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There’s a reason why most songs have choruses, but many don’t; why theatre has intermissions, but movies don’t; why visual art has a background to support its foreground. And it’s not to allow time for a word from our sponsor.]]></description>

		<title>Tyler Ham Pong’s Headlong Rush</title>
		<description><![CDATA[His publicist Ashley Shea wrote me because she felt Tyler’s story of “how a small town Canadian maintains his integrity in a city known for swallowing its artists” would interest readers in his Ottawa home. It’s difficult to judge the integrity of a 22-year-old to whom you’ve talked long-distance for just 45 minutes.  I do know Ham Pong makes a living in a notoriously fickle city with his stunning good looks and a short acting pedigree that started in Grade 9 at Ashbury College.
