The move to cancel the $1.5-million program that helps fund thousands of projects has sparked outrage in the film industry.
The government has ordered the Canadian Independent Film and Video Fund, which helped get the popular documentary The Corporation off the ground, shut down on March 31.
(...)
Mark Achbar said his documentaries Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media and The Corporation would not have been possible without the support of the fund.
Ah... of course! No surprise that our tax dollars funded that hard-left propagandist Chomsky's "documentary". Hard-left propaganda "documentaries". Why should we, the taxpayers, give useful-idiots our money so they can make Al Gore and Michael Moore-style propaganda flicks?
Liberal Heritage critic Pablo Rodriguez said the cut is an example of the Conservative government's "distrust of the artistic community".
"It shows what we already know, that they don't understand culture," he said.
Actually, it shows that you don't know the difference between culture and propaganda crap, Mr. Rodriguez. Calling propaganda "culture" just because it's been made to look artistic/cultural doesn't make it anything other than propaganda. You like such things because it provides a free ride on the hard-left propaganda train, Pablo. You guys are addicted to money-for-nothing to finance your social-reengineering agenda via the production of propaganda.
No more taxpayer money soup for hard-left propaganda. Leftists, as well as must non-leftists, must pay for their own propaganda, and quit wrongly, stupidly claiming that losing entitlement monies somehow constitutes "censorship".
It's just another entitlement program, and we do remember that, despite agreeing to blow billions on a dubious stimulus, the backed-into-a-corner-by-the-hard-left-coup-plotters PM Harper made it clear he wasn't going to have permanent entitlement programs that would keep federal state spending of taxpayer dollars (or dollars borrowed-and-charged-to-the-taxpayers) needlessly, cripplingly high, whilst unfairly enabling the hard-left useful-idiots to aid and abet the international-socialist/socially-uglifying enemy by producing domestic propaganda like that to supplement the international propaganda, such as the likes of which we hear from Hugo Chavez (he, according to the Drudge Report, told Obama to follow the path of socialism), Vladimir Putin (we know the crap he said), Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (no explanation necessary) and so on and so forth.
Well, that's how I see it. Of course, the leftists will dis... but then again, I certainly do like to annoy leftists...
