Bill C-10, Canadian censorship.
thegreatbuddha:
That is underhanded. The fact that it is implied censorship through a withholding of funds rather than explicit censorship just means its all the more likely to be passed as a law. That makes me sad, and I hope the Canadian people as a whole get in a big enough huff over this to stop it from being passed.
Lines:
Canada is one of the last places I'd ever have thought to do anything like this. It is a form of censorship and a pretty silly one at that. But in other words, your letter is written rather well and I hope there are a lot of other letters like it that will hopefully bring this bill down.

What I'm wondering is, who benefits by this? I wasn't under the impression that the Canadian government pandered to the hypocritical Christian moral compass like the US did.
Uber Ritter:
My favorite maps of "The United States of Canada" and "Jesusland" (red/state/blue state 2004 election map) showed a little finger of Jesusland sticking up into the US of C that coincided -exactly- with Alberta. My grandad, a Dutch Reformed Minister, once took up the call from a congregation in a little southern Albertan town which was populated by the descendants of Dutch immigrants. And suffice to say I think the culture clash (Popop was from New Jersey) was I think part of the reason he left. Isn't Harper from Alberta? But then I'm not Canadian so what do I know?
The UK already has its ban on 'extreme' pornography, so some sort of censorship of 'egregious' material doesn't necessarily require a massive portion of the voting public to be socially conservative Christians.
