What the artistic community feared most has come to pass: Stephen Harper was rewarded with a minority government in yesterday's federal election. Will this spell the end of the arts in Canada? Will anyone ever make a movie, TV show, or record music ever again? Without subsidies from the government, how can anyone be expected to produce cultural works? Should the people who appreciate various art forms actually be the ones who support it financially? The mere thought of it shudders Canadian sensibilities.
What a shame. I really like Canadian music and was very much anticipating Paul Gross's new film, Passchendaele (although it probably won't be released in the U.S., anyway).
