Howdy!

Very easy and very simple for today's entry. As the election is taking up way too much space in the newspapers, I decided to email each of the parties involved and ask them where they stood with regards to Arts & Culture. Despite my inability to vote here, I figured it would be interesting to know their policies in detail.

If and when they get back to me, I'll let you know what their response(s) are.

Howdy!

I was reading through your platform and noticed that you have no mention of Art or Culture. I was wondering what your party's position is on this subject?

Thank You Very Much

Howdy!

In reading through your party's platform, I noticed that you only refer to the arts & culture once, and state that your party would "Restore funding for the CBC, the arts and Canadian culture."

I was wondering if you had any information that provided a slightly more detailed description of your plans with regards to Arts & Culture. While I applaud the idea in general of spending more money on the arts, throwing money willy-nilly is not always the best solution.

Thank You Very Much

Howdy!

Your platform states that if you were elected that your party would
"Increase support for community arts programs and facilities to encourage participation.
Revise funding programs to expand peer review and include audience feedback.
Sponsor regional arts festivals that bring new Canadian art to a wider audience."

Howdy!

I was reading through your platform and noticed that your platform states that you would increase funding for the National Arts Council and the CBC. I was wondering if this was the total extent of your policies on Art & Culture, or if there was something slightly more detailed available.
