Q: What were the causes and consequences of the Massey Commission?
A: Due to Canadian-American relations after the cold war, the country was influenced heavily by American culture, which lead to few Canadian culture pieces (such as movies, books, paintings, etc) being created. The Massey Commission sought to fix this, however the consequences were that it was not all-inclusive of what it called “canadian culture’ and was exclusive of FIrst Nations art, and unorthodox Canadian art, which lead to displease with the act by those groups. The act, however, also gave the art sector more than 100,000 jobs, and was a clear success relative to it’s goal.
