Ontario Liberals pledge millions for province’s musicians


Thank you oh Great One...




The Liberals have an idea for bringing down Ontario’s unemployment rate: put people to work as musicians.

The government is pledging to create a $45-million fund that would dole out grants to bands, studios and record labels in an effort to crank up the volume on the province’s recording industry.

Finance Minister Charles Sousa and Culture Minister Michael Chan took the stage at Lee’s Palace, a Toronto indie rock bar, to announce the three-year program Wednesday morning. Before a capacity crowd of twenty-something musicians who jostled for space in the pit, Mr. Sousa touted the money as a way to create jobs in the province’s creative industries.
