A meat dress, rotting rabbits and now a masturbating Mexican has the Canadian Alliance heritage critic angry and appalled. “This is the most obscene, vile display of the squandering of public money, but it’s more than that.

Abbott is angry that the Banff Centre, one of Canada’s most prestigious cultural institutions, has provided about $1,300 to Mexican performance artist Israel Mora
