Speaking of Northrop Frye and the Moncton fallacy : "The arts are no longer a luxury -- even if some of our aptly named provincial governments persist in treating them that way. According to a Canada Council newsletter from November, 1999, the cultural sector contributes $29.8-billion to Canada's gross domestic product. And if you want to see evidence of this extraordinary change, you could do worse than to go to Moncton. I'd recommend April 25-28, for the Northrop Frye International Literary Festival."
