Last weekend was the Writers' Union of Canada's annual general meeting at which time much was said about the importance of culture to economies today and about the lack of recognition of this fact by Canada's current federal leaders.

Did you know that the cultural industries (broadly defined) contribute more to the country's economy than the mining and agricultural sectors conbined? Creating a good environment for culture means a stronger, better country all around.

That environment, by the way, doesn't necessarily mean only big arts' centres. Support for festivals and individual creators is just as important.
