Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival

Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival: Thats the question organizers of the 2013 Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival are asking themselves on the eve of the festivals closing weekend in Toronto, which culminates Saturday with a massive parade watched by up to a million people, according to The Star. The grant was so small that organizers were forced to turn it down because the cost of staging the cultural events required to qualify for the money would far exceed the size of the grant and Does Prime Minister Stephen Harper have something against North Americas largest Caribbean festival? The reason for their question is simple: the Harper government has once again this summer stiffed the two-week festival by offering it a measly last-minute grant of only $13,000.
