« The Canada Council, which approved the script and outline of Bubbles Galore, blessed it with $60,000 because at its artistic core, they said, it portrayed independent-minded women taking control of their own images. Enter the Reform Party, stage right. That sure wasn't the way they saw it. 'Why does (then heritage minister Sheila Copps) feel that money spent on this kind of trash is in Canadians' interests?' demanded Reform party whip Chuck Strahl. His colleague Monte Solberg, then Reform finance critic, was equally incensed and said Bubbles didn't merit our tax dollars. Reform MP John Williams called the movie pornographic and an indictment of Canadian cultural funding. [...] Award-winning filmmaker Cynthia Roberts, who had shown Bubbles in Germany, Spain, Australia and South Africa without raising eyebrows, was astounded at the political storm her Bubbles caused in Ottawa. »
