There's a whole lot of social media talk about Canada's new income tax break for artists, even though it only represents 0.03% of the 2nd Carney budget. shrlnk.ca/s/TIUaQq66 Barely a drop in the bucket compared to 1.38% of the budget in new funding for AI that harms artists. shrlnk.ca/s/gmXBPXWC
'A lot of fanfare around relatively limited affordability measures.... the actual spending shows a gov. prioritizing corporate profits over all else. [re homelessness] this gov. has a poor track record on hitting targets like this. It will miss the poverty reduction goal by a country mile.' - CCPA
