Everyone supports the arts. The question is what % of the budget should go to it.

If you have a % in mind please list the other % = 100 so we know where you would cut etc.

Its not that I dont want to support the arts, its that I dont want to pay more taxes to support it, and as such I have higher priorities for things that my tax dollars should go to.

Also, I dont believe that Arts is simply the way Canada defines itself vs the US. Alot of what is considered art in this country simply exists as a back door anti American sentiment.

Canada needs to realize that it has less people than California and as such we need to pick and choose our arts battles. I think more money should be directed at less "Canadiana" which basically means Anti Americanism and more pro Canadian heritage and culture. So what if we like some of the same things the US does, or if we like to watch US TV shows. Quit trying to shove Corner Gas down our throats and direct that money to educating people via cinema, tv, museums etc about our rich history.

Why someone hasnt made a "Band of Brothers" for Canada I will never know.
