Time To Stop Subsidizing Porn With Our Tax Dollars

Taxpayers - it appears the Senate is trying to stonewall the wishes of the elected parliament.

Bill C10 which passed by all parties in the House is now being stonewalled by unelected Senators.

That means they are in essence in favor of allowing your tax dollars to freely flow to the movie / arts industry for sex and violence movies with no checks and balances, with no accountability and with no limit of dollars. Over 2 billion tax dollars were "given away" last year.

According to the polls 75% of Canadians oppose subsidies for porn films. But the opponents of Bill C-10 insist that withholding tax credits from movies that feature sex or violence is censorship. Well, if they can't understand the difference between banning the movie outright and simply not using taxpayers money to fund events like the "freakzone international festival" or "trash cinema" - then maybe the government should just abolish those movie credits altogether.

After all, we could find a better use to the $2B. Applied to the income taxes $2B would be enough to raise personal exemption by $1000 (from $9600 to $10,600) which would mean a $150 tax break for anyone with a full-time job. I bet most taxpayers would choose that over government-funded porn.
