Young People Fucking

I feel so out of the loop. The local paper for my small city in Ontario arrived this week with a front page article about our Conservative MP Gary Goodyear, denying that he fired his aide for going to see a controversial movie. Which, to cynical me, means that's precisely why she was fired, but moving on.

Following a link from an article about the Universal fire to one about the movie, as my interest was piqued by the coincidence, as I hadn't realized it was a big issue, I saw not only was our local MP mentioned but also that the movie, Young People Fucking, is by our Martin Gero from Stargate.

I did not know that. Did I miss a memo?

I'm not a Canadian citizen yet, so I have no vote, but the anti-gay marriage stance and tendency to censor of the Conservative party makes me certain they won't get my vote when I have one.
