OTTAWA, May 20, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — Distribution companies are effectively banning the film Unplanned from screening in Canadian cinemas, according to the producers of the pro-life biopic.

Speaking at an Ottawa news conference on May 8, producer Lisa Wheeler said, “We have been effectively blocked from distributing the film in Canada.”

Chuck Konzelman, the film’s writer, director, and producer, told LifeSiteNews via email that at least one of the two largest Canadian film distributors said “content” rather than a lack of consumer demand is the reason for banning the film.

Two of the largest distributors in Canada, Landmark and Cineplex, have no plans to show Unplanned. In an email response to LifeSiteNews, Konzelman confirmed that there are still no distributors for the film in Canada.

“In Canada, Cineplex basically has monopolistic power ... the National Post mentions them as controlling nearly 80 percent of all movie screens, and from our limited experience, they seem to have many of the most desirable locations, in and near the major metropolitan areas,” Konzelman wrote. “So rejection by Cineplex basically means we're not playing in Canada.”

Fake News. Canada hasn't banned the film, it's just that distribution companies are choosing not to release it.

1 - it's Canada - who cares

2 - any solution that violates property rights of the owners is a non-starter for me

3 - I can't think of any solution that doesn't impede on the rights of those owning the distribution channels

So it's not actually Canada doing this, you silly Marxist whore, it's private companies.

Why do you hate the free market, comrade?

Nobody banned the film. The people who own the property rights are refusing to release it. Which is fine under Capitalism. Would you rather the Canadian government sieze their property like a Communist government?

So now you're in favor of Freedom of Association and think businesses should be allowed to refuse service to anyone for any reason. ?? I'm all for that too but when a business refuses service to faggots or blacks you libs sing a different tune.

When "private companies" discriminate based on content, as the Canadian production companies do, one needs only look at the government to see how the government itself causes private companies to discriminate.

In Canada, criticizing fags is against the law. Every private business is required to discriminate against anti-pervert speech. It doesn't take much to extend this discrimination to other targets of the left's hate, even if those other targets aren't technically illegal, so that businesses and cover themselves against charges of discriminating against the left's favorites. E.g. if the government will punish you for discriminating against blacks or women, then you discriminate against whites and so that you're protected against government punishment. In Canada, hosting a pro-life movie would be used against you in court when some women accuses you have sexual discrimination.

Another thing to look at is what the government does to promote these near monopolies. Canada and America grants copyrights and patents. These are monopolies the government grants, which makes it easy for big companies to lock out competition. When companies have no real competition, they are encouraged to act in a more hostile manner to passive groups (men, whites, Christians) to appease aggressive termite groups (feminists, nigs, fags).

They aren't refusing service, you dingus. Freedom of speech, isn't freedom to have companies broadcast it. Otherwise we'd live in a troll utopia

Wait, you're saying you've been tossed out of businesses before because you're a black faggot?

Yeah, I can see that.

Hey, you fcking stupid cunt, Canada doesn't have "Freedom of speech."

Huh. Literally nothing you just asserted is true.

Maybe if you weren't such a black fag, you'd know why.
