Misrepresenting Reality
Here's Mark Steyn playing RevRend Charles McVety (Stephen Harper's second in command behind Thomas Flanagan, unless he's waddled into first place thanks to Cadscam) and spinning the facts as he so often does, to suit his supposedly Libertarian views (well, for men, anyway - women he'd prefer have no autonomy over their own bodies and be reduced to the status of childbirth slaves of the Nanny State - a real one, not just the one he pretends we have now) :
Okay, Steyn. You may not like TAX BREAKS (not government funding - of the kind Macleans enjoys, anyway) that the Canadian film and television industry gets from OUR government, but understand (at least) that they help get movies and programs made - here - to the benefit of OUR economy. Still, since your argument is really one of censorship (because you focus in it only on certain films with provocative titles) you really should just shut the fuck up until your battle with the CHRC that stands you accused of hate speech, essentially, against a visibly identifiable minority - is over.
Here's hoping you get off and don't become a martyr to free speech, too, because (from my perspective, anyway) you already seem kind of threatening to democracy and ACTUAL freedom, being pretty much a mouthpiece for the Rightwing Establishment that holds all the actual power in the world and which has been systematically stripping citizens here of their civil rights - as you are.
So yeah - boycott Macleans, Feminists. It doesn't deserve your hardearned, working family income because it just hands it over, in addition to the hardearned, working family tax dollars they already receive from YOUR government, to men who would deny women their human rights while they mouthpiece for the Republican government of the United States of America and its Little Big Brother up here in Canada - which is apparently being run behind the scenes by Gawd-boyz like RevRend Charles McVety.
You know, it's funny, but I don't necessarily support government funding for the arts, either. Or didn't. Until Mark Steyn poked his head out from his ass. Now I'm 100% behind tax breaks for the movies. ESPECIALLY ones with names like "Young People Fucking".
Tsk, tsk, Mark Steyn: Live in a glass house and throw stones much?
