TORONTO -- Politicians should not engage in censorship of movies, art, literature or architecture, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty said Wednesday as he defended the use of provincial tax credits to help fund a controversial new movie about the sex lives of young singles.
"Young People F---ing,'' which is described as a romantic comedy, had its debut at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival and will be released Friday in theatres across Canada.
The film's producer, Steve Hoban, said the small-budget movie, a $1.4-million production, received $80,000 in federal tax credits and $120,000 in provincial tax credits.
