Trudeau has already booked his seat.
I wonder what the black theatre hoing population of Ottawa is. Mind you one of the venues only sears 89 people, so it should be easy enough to bus a few in.
Ah, no, that came out wrong….
So Meghan Markle and that woman in the States who claims to be black despite being as lily-white as me can attend? Well, they’ll at least stand out when the house lights go down…
‘black-identifying’???
Does this mean someone of my pallid hue could attend?? Or would I have to wear blackface?
Still if the theatres are businesses, I suppose all they’d really care about is the colour of your money.
This is just so white people don’t have to go. No-one wants to see this stuff, you go so you can brag about seeing it and show off your credentials.
But you can now say that you’d love to have gone, but shucks, it would be racist to disrespect the BIPOC community and go and enjoy Ant-Man:Quantumania instead.
We can only wish, boganboy. No doubt the bulk of their income is from the Canada Council – a tax-payer funded arts granting monstrosity. They already have our money, and are safely insulated from any concern about general interest in their performance, or the lack thereof.
