September 9, 2009 Vancouver protest against the B.C. Liberal's arts cuts

[xianapple]

Sorry artistry is a choosen lifestyle and not a right - Not saying art should be banned, but it is not a right like in the same way as health care. People say it brings harmony, self awareness, and encourages self expression. Sailing does all these things for me too so as does travelling - Should the government fund my sailboat and pay for my travels? Hell no. Stop expecting others to pay for your lifestyle recreation choices and take some responsibility.

[Thunderthor1988]

Free-market. If no one wants to buy your art crap too bad. Get a new job or starve. Its not government job to save the incompetent. Nor your right to be saves. If you had remained prudent you would have no problem but you lack initiative and willingness to be flexible and innovate. Thus you have failed prior, you have fail now and you will continue to fail in the future.

Canpbell and his cronies are like Harper, if it doesn't help his big corporate buddies then he ignores it. Start the recall vote now.

Electronic Arts

Squaresoft

Radical

There are so many video game developers, movie production companies, post production, music production facilities, graphic design facilities in BC.And, that is just the electronic media. Why in the world do they want to cut funding from the heart of Vancouver's economy? That is bread and butter right there.
