Now we hear that the feds are funding a food truck in Mexico City to popularize Canadian cuisine internationally. Could a satirist have invented more convincing proof that the Harper administration believes nothing worthwhile can happen without public subsidy?
As the National Post story notes, a complication is that according to various culinary experts Canadians are such diverse and cosmopolitan people no one’s really sure what constitutes Canadian cuisine other than the inevitable poutine and maple syrup.
Might I suggest taxpayer au gratin as our signature dish?
