this is something else that i've been in strong support of for years, and would like to hear an update around before the election.

i don't see this as buying votes, even if the premier does (and she seriously might). i conceive of this as an artist's grant; this is in truth exactly the kind of society i want to build - one where people are free to explore their ambitions, without succumbing to the tyranny of the market, and getting stuck in the doldrums of wage slavery.
