Lisa MacLeod, Ontario’s Tourism, Culture and Sport minister, has found herself in hot water with Mississauga band Billy Talent.

The band, which has a star on the city’s music walk of fame, made a statement over Twitter that said MacLeod “misrepresented” the purpose of a meeting the band had with the minister.

In the Twitter post, Billy Talent clarified that “do not support the Ford Administration and what they are doing to the arts.”

The photo, which has been deleted from MacLeod’s Twitter, showed the minister at a drum kit with the band, with her thanking the group for allowing her to play drums as they record their new album.

Spokesperson Brooke L. Timpson from MacLeod’s office said in an email that the post was a “lighthearted tweet in support of the band.”

“She appreciates their feedback and will continue to support them, as well as all Canadian artists, in her role as Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport,” the email said.

In the Twitter statement, Billy Talent said the band was meeting MacLeod to discuss funding cuts to the Ontario Music Fund, which the band said has affected “younger artists who are trying to make a living in a very difficult climate for musicians.”

In April, reports surfaced that the Rob Ford government would be cutting the fund, which is aimed at strengthening Ontario’s music companies. The fund was reportedly cut to $7 million, from $15 million.
