The writer Margaret Atwood wrote a powerful polemic in The Globe and Mail in response. She argued that not only was the arts sector beneficial to the Canadian economy, but also that &#8222;ordinary&#8220; Canadians were creative. She went on to compile a list of everyday creative activities from making music or films for the Net, through knitting and quilting, to gardening, cooking and home woodworking shop to demonstrate that creativity is a part of being human, rather than a niche interest [1].<\/p>\n<p>Atwood echoed Raymond Williams&#8216; proposition of &#8222;ordinary&#8220; culture, a culture created not by the arts, but in the process of everyday activities of ordinary people [2]. Building on his work, a group of researchers led by Paul Willis lamented in 1990 that there was &#8222;decreasing room for creativity in the necessary symbolic work of most paid work&#8220;.
