'ARDEN'S NOTEBOOK' MAY 15 - LOOKING THROUGH THE WRONG END OF THE
BINOCULARS 
---------------------------

Arden R. Ryshpan, Equity's Executive Director, adds another instalment
to 'Arden's Notebook,' a casual, periodic correspondence with the Equity
membership.

"May 15 - Looking through the wrong end of the binoculars - Equity's
Executive Director reviews the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage's
Report On The Analysis Of The Arts Programs That Were Cancelled In
Summer 2008" is now available at EQUITYONLINE (http://www.caea.com).

"... The report is interesting for a variety of reasons. The first is
for the consistent message that was sent by every discipline of the arts
community. No matter what kind of work they did, everyone talked about
the significant impact that the cuts will have on not just their own
work but the entire arts community. The second interesting thing was
that the entire group of Conservative MPs banded together to issue a
dissenting opinion that not only disagreed with the conclusions of the
report but in fact quarrelled with the veracity of the information
presented..."
Arden R. Ryshpan

Members are urged to regularly check EQUITYONLINE for changes and
