Judging by how the bulk of the discussion has centred around how people don't think that government should give money to artists to create art they don't like, I would say that his work in this matter, is truly and effectively done.

I was just going to ask for the Coles notes version
Can you provide me a link to what was actually cut? In last nights debate Harper mentioned that he "cut programs that no longer worked" or something to that extent. Agreeing or Disagreeing with the term "Arts Cuts" is pretty hard when most people, myself included, don't actually know what was cut...
