They might be if you research how much government money allocated to the arts go where.

So you would agree, then, that a kid inspiring to play hockey can find his way to the NHL on his own as well? He'd make a damn fine grown-up too if he did, according to your logic.
Where is the money supposed to go then, if there is money to be dispersed for public interest due to a budget surplus? If you say doctors and scientists, then you have to support the arts as well - especially at the grassroots level. THAT, more than anything, is an investment in Alberta's future.
