Did he? I honestly didn't know. But that is the distinction. It's really easy to see on a spreadsheet that artists received FACTOR, Canada Council, or this or that, and then to say that they're double-dipping. But the reality is that these are the same people who are also experimenting, who are pushing the envelope. If anybody is going to push the envelope, it's Jesse Zubot. He's right out there. He's brilliant. And we should support artists like him. If you dig deeper into the program, you'll realize that there really is a value to that.
