I suggest Harper go and spend a week with a dancer of a smaller company live how they live,maybe try Ballet BC.. wait they went bancrupt

Please sir, Do the honourable thing and give Canadians leadership that is refreshing and forward thinking. Keep the Arts moving, changing, sharing and growing. As I work in our schools I see many children expressing themselves in more ways than in decades past. It is a testiment, and reminder, of how far we have come. Lets not backslide. How confusing it is to have the Arts uplifted, (funding/new programs), only to have limbs cut from budding generations. 4SHAME

As an artist, there can be months to years of leadtime to get a comprehensive show out to the public. It is extremely difficult for an artist to fundraise for him or herself; not only the time take from working, but shortage of corporate and private sponsors. Art is part of who humans are, and a fundamental need. Funding from grants is an extreme need for us.

If you have a creative passion the Canadian government has an obligation to give you the means to pursue your dream. Please remember - whether it's good or bad (we don't know yet - I'm sure it would be better without it) - but in our society money keeps the score. If your passion captures others, your financial life will fall into place - if not, you need a job.

Very few artist are wined and dined; most hold TWO jobs - one to pay their bills and be able to feed, clothe, and shelter themselves and their familes and their second job in the arts -a paint/sketch artist, a sculturist, an actor, a quilter, a musician, a singer, etc. Perhaps Mr. Harper you should live in Alberta once more and live on $45,000.00 a year; pay the exorbitant rent price or morgage. The Alberta boom is for the corporations not the average Albertan!
