text: So what now? We're going to be deprived of future books by this excellent Canadian author because of the Identity cops? One thing I hate is art being promoted for something other than it's quality. Literature should stand on its own feet regardless of its origin. You see the same thing happening with Canadian music getting air time in favour of better non-Canadian music. There are also parallels here with language laws promoting dying or less popular languages. Point is that Identity politics, the CRTC and language police are all impediments to evolution - the human quest for excellence.
