Speechless

Or silenced: the BC government cuts off funding to the Association of BC Book Publishers, the BC Association of Magazine Publishers, and the long-running publication BC Bookworld. Is the BC Arts Council, which provides funding to many publishers, far behind? Arsenalia posts the shocking press release here.

When my full powers of speech return, I intend to write letters to this gang, as well as my MLA:
