If we’re serious about sustaining Canada’s arts & music ecosystem, we should work with the gov in power, but we should also name this clearly:
Renewal without (at minimum!) inflation adjustment is decline.

By 2028, these programs will have absorbed years of real-dollar losses.
And the baseline for measuring that loss isn’t 2024 or 2025. It’s 2023, when this nominal level first came into effect.

But we should also be clear about what was actually announced.
The funding is continued, but it is not increased!
These programs will receive the same nominal amounts for the next three years as they did in the last two.
In a high-inflation environment, flat nominal funding = a real cut.

Remember when Spotify handed the majors equity (as penance for its initial failure to obtain licenses).
When those shares were sold, the majors claimed the windfall wasn’t “royalty income” and didn’t have to be shared with artists.
We're at the same point now with AI!
