Dontcha just love people that try to use pretentious french words but aren't bright enough to figure how to add the appropriate accent. :)

If I were him I would delete much of this commentary as well. It's pretty blase.

Of course there is. This is Jim's blog. He owns it. He pays for it. He has every right to determine what content is on HIS blog.

So far he has shown no interest in trying to control the content on other peoples' blogs. THAT would be censorship.

State censorship is what's being done to Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn by the Human Rights Commissions.

Hugo.

It ain't censorship. Refusing to give someone money isn't censorship. Stopping someone from making or distributing a film would be censorship.

Even if the decisions are based on McVety's twisted sense of morality it's still not censorship. It's goddam scary and stupid though.

Wait 'till Harper gets a majority with McVety in charge of public morality, then you'll see censorship.

Um, no. It is state censorship. Telefilm is run by the state, and they're censoring who gets public dollars and who doesn't based on their moral and value-based views. Particularly when without dollars, NONE of those movies (whether they like them or not) would be made.

Alternately, shut the thing down and let the market decide. You could argue the market censors, but at least it's through private dollars and not my taxes.

If Telefilm exists, then it should fund all, not just what the boss likes.

"This is state censorship"

Not really. Refusing to fund something with tax money isn't censorship. Nobody's stopping any film from being made. They'll just have to get the funding elsewhere.

I'd like to see Telefilm Canada shut down altogether. I'd just as soon as not see my tax dollars being squandered making second rate art films ... or if McVety has his way, making animated Disneyesque bible stories.

This is state censorship, plain and simple. Arrrg....

Charles McVety is a fundamentalist nutbar. I've seen video clips of the guy and he's barking mad. He's as crazy as any Islamic Fundamentalist and just as dangerous in his own way.

The fact that he and his kin have influence with the CPC is reason enough for me to hope that Harper never gets a majority.
