But at what point do we cave?

"(T)he issue here is bit clouded. Bill C-10 is not actually censorsing filmakers or other artists. It does provide the government funding agencies with the ability to deny monies to productions whose content is found objectionable. Denying them money is not the same as saying you can't make the film, it just says go ahead and make the film just not on our nickel."

Nope, true. Filmmakers are free to find other sources of funding. It appears there is a loophole.

But my question is: WHY should creative thinkers HAVE to look for "creative loopholes?"

Shouldn't the zeitgeist ENCOURAGE free-thinking?

I guess we all know the answer to THAT.

Ugh.
