"CBC agrees to pull Tommy Douglas movie"

Cowards--not once, but twice. It's a movie, people. Just put a disclaimer on it or something. Sheesh.

Edit: I did find the scene in question embarrassing, quite frankly, but I understood that creators wanted to show prevailing negative attitudes towards unions. If only they'd come up with a better way to convey the idea...

It's an interesting question, how inaccurate can a film be before it becomes unacceptable?

U-571 is a case in point. I live in the home town of someone who died getting the code books from a sinking submarine and we felt that this film was an insult. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-571_(film)

Having said that the local cinema did show the film.
