Artists call Tory plan to vet films 'censorship'

Those sneaky bastards. Guess my film about gay atheist environmentalists won't get funding now....

I don't want to pay for their fucking war, but I don't seem to have a say in that kind of public funding...or ads for the military on TV I find offensive..don't see them caring too much about that.

But oh, mention the "gay"!

I really dislike conservatives. They have a fight on their hands.

A new bill that would give the federal Heritage Department the power to deny funding for films and TV shows it considers offensive is creating shock waves in the industry.

Changes now before the Senate to the Income Tax Act that would allow the federal government to cancel tax credits for projects thought to be offensive or not in the public interest. The amendments have already been passed in the House of Commons.

Oh no, it's much worse...it's the Christians. The IQ of the debate just went to single digits.

A well-known evangelical crusader is claiming credit for the federal government's move to deny tax credits to TV and film productions that contain graphic sex and violence or other offensive content.

Charles McVety, president of the Canada Family Action Coalition, said his lobbying efforts included discussions with Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day and Justice Minister Rob Nicholson, and "numerous" meetings with officials in the Prime Minister's Office.

"We're thankful that someone's finally listening," he said yesterday. "It's fitting with conservative values, and I think that's why Canadians voted for a Conservative government."

Actually, most people didn't vote for the Conservatives...hello minority government?

Mr. McVety said films promoting homosexuality, graphic sex or violence should not receive tax dollars, and backbench Conservative MPs and cabinet ministers support his campaign.

Gee and here I thought we had equal rights under the law...silly me. Christianity trumps rights every time!

Now I really really dislike conservatives, and so called Christian watchdog groups. They want to close your mind.
