The Weeknd, Blue Rodeo, and Alanis Morissette—now, that would make an eclectic fantasy music festival lineup.

Local economies will be squeezed, and tax revenue to government will fall. And, perhaps most significantly, while artists like Charlotte Cardin, Jessie Reyez, Les Cowboys Fringants, William Prince, Fouki, Cadence Weapon, Patrick Watson, Tanya Tagaq, July Talk, George Canyon, Haviah Mighty, Serena Ryder, The Tragically Hip, and the Barenaked Ladies received crucial support to help build their careers, some of Canada’s future stars may go unnoticed and undeveloped without these investments.
