Sympatico.ca Video - No more books for PM, Yann Martel vows


Apparently Yann had been sending his highness books for four years.

The reasons go on and on, and are documented in the vid. and "full story'

Mr. Martel finally stopped when someone from the PMO revealed that Harpo can't read..................you believe that??8O

Or, apparently.. Yann is kind of being a turd and rather than request a sit down with the Prime Minister he orchestrated this incredibly stupid media ***** venture.

"I'm tired of sending books of poetry as little political jabs. Books are too beautiful. And books are incredibly patient. They'll be here long after Prime Minister Harper is gone and long after I'm gone." --Yann

Having written a book and understanding the difficulty involved in the process I find it irritating when (Artists) try to act smart instead of acting smart. Cripe even Bono has the common sense to request an audience with the PM or a President. I am a steadfast supporter of the arts, but acts like this only undermine the legitimacy of Mr. Yann's very valid cause.

What I do believe is that Mr Harper and Mr Martel are pretty much equal wrt reading skills. I've read things written by both of them; if Mr Martel believes that Mr Harper cannot read, then Mr Martel deserves to fail Grade 2.
