Global Affairs Canada has axed the controversial Mission Cultural Fund, an arts and culture funding program that drew fire for financing a sex toy show in Germany and for being flagged by a federal evaluation over transparency concerns.
“This is a big win for taxpayers and it’s long overdue. Paying for a sex toy show in Germany and flying chefs around the world was a huge waste of taxpayers’ money and Global Affairs should have shut this down years ago," said Franco Terrazzano, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayer’s Federation (CTF), in a May 29 release.
