Check out Vision Green for our party's commitment to arts. It is not a frill. And it is more than adequate funding to CBC and the Canada Arts Council. (although those institutions need more support too) Supporting the music industry, film making, live theatre, dance and graphic arts are all aspects of healthy and engaged communities, and it happens to be an area of sustainable economic activity. The booming East Coast music scene supports recording studios, annual festivals from the New Glasgow Music Jubilee to Celtic Colours and to the Stan Rogers Festival. They bring people to the area as tourists. They promote sales of culturally significant work. We need to promote and support the arts!
