Sad Mag launches issue two on December 17. Until then, we’re releasing sneak peeks from the new issue.

So the provincial government has announced its plans to clear-cut funding to the arts over the next few years. From a projected $42 million in 2009/2010 to just over $3.5 million heading into 2012—that’s a loss of roughly ninety percent, a true decimation.

Yeah, well, big whoop. Arts cuts? More like farts cuts.
