sounds too amerianized for me. harper is so far up bush’s ass it wouldn’t surprise me if we became little usa instead of canada.
You don’t like the criteria? Don’t ask for the money and do it on your own. What the fuck is so hard about that? Do people think that producers in ‘the arts’ don’t alreadt impose self-censorship on themselves to gain audiences or whatever? Pabst Blue Ribbon!
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Where can I find out what Bill C-10 really means ? I read a few sites with regards to the bill…Some say gun related offenses, some talk about minimum and maximum amounts of marijuana another talks about porn. Damn this the all encompassing bill. Well, it covers off the finer points of my life anyway ; )
This is even funnier than the previous post. I don’t know about anyone but it must’ve occurred to you that the government is just creating certain regulation to take money and avoid giving it? It’s nothing to do with censorship. If it was censorship, a lot of things you see on TV wouldn’t be on right now, like Show Case’s Fridays without boundaries. I was recently in Florida and they censor Family guy there. Certain parts are taken out of it, but you see those parts in Canada. If it was censorship, trust me, you’d know it.Just another way for our government to avoid giving out money.
