I'm saying the Canadian artists that could be, are not, because they can't afford to try. No one can seek and pay for that which doesn't exist. Getting worse too with cost of housing going far beyond what an unknown artist might be able to generate.
I saw a documentary that suggested the Avro was sold out by Diefenbaker. Funding things that are unprofitable to create sectors that then bare fruit is something other countries do that Canada fails to do quite a lot. Conviently, for Americas aviation and budding space industry, suddenly 1400 top shelf aviation engineers needed jobs. Conspiracy! :)
