Artist's grant pulled due to environmental stance

Description

Government records have revealed that a grant offered to artist Franke James for a European exhibition was pulled due to her work's anti-climate change message. In 2011, the Canadian government offered a grant to James to tour her work, in partnership with a Croatian environmental organization. However, a few days later the Foreign Affairs Department’s climate change division pulled the grant. After years of information requests, James has found records indicating that the government had monitored her work and decided that it went against their position on climate change and the oil industry.
