    Globe Article: Tories plan to withhold funding for 'offensive' productions

    Oh my dear gawd. Next they will be blocking websites.

    From Thursday's Globe and Mail

    The Conservative government has drafted guidelines that would allow it to pull financial aid for any film or television show that it deems offensive or not in the public's best interest – even if government agencies have invested in them.

    The proposed changes to the Income Tax Act would allow the Heritage Minister to deny tax credits to projects deemed offensive, effectively killing the productions. Representatives from Heritage and the Department of Justice will determine which shows or films pass the test.
