Filmmakers say a Toronto cinema has cancelled a weeklong screening of their documentary about Jordan Peterson, the controversial psychology professor known for opposing political correctness and refusing to use preferred gender pronouns.
Peterson, a University of Toronto professor and author, is a frequent contributor to the National Post. He was not available for comment, but his 27-year-old daughter, Mikhaila Peterson, said she had not heard about the cancellation before being asked. The documentary is also partly biographical, recounting Peterson’s first speech when he ran for vice president of the NDP in Alberta and showing footage of Peterson’s years teaching at Harvard. Marcoccia said the film was largely funded by the CBC, while it also received funding from the film’s worldwide distributors.
God forbid Canadians have open access to information/views/ideologies etc. We are capable of deciding whether we want to see Peterson’s movie and if we do, if we agree or disagree. 🙄
What kind of a weirdo would go to Carlton cinema anyway? Screens are like 60' and every time I went there many moons ago there was a gay couple at the back giving each other hand jobs. Yuk.
Are they obligated to show his nonsense?
Gee... people don’t like truth ha....? Eh crooked Hollywood....
cowards
Why?
Canada ... The liberal/left are SO afraid of hearing opposing views ...
I’m sure people will be able to find this content online, I have a feeling there more people online viewing movies, documentaries, videos etc etc. Then attending these theatres.
Millennials are afraid of the truth
Good. That should cause interest in the documentary to spike.
Proof the left wing are hypocrites
Cancellation/Censorship Culture AKA Progressivism is a one-way ticket to Totalitarian/Fascists forms of government. Progressives are indeed The True Deplorable amoung us. Posted By Demian Hammock
People who accuse others of discrimination and hate are the ones who discriminate and hate! Besides that, they can’t listen to opinions and truths if those opinions and truths aren’t their opinions and truths!
Pathetic LeftyMeltyDownyzzzz Again

Ellis Jacob, president/CEO of Cineplex had it right when he aired Unplanned. Set aside your personal beliefs remember that living in a country that censors content opinions & points of view because they're different from yours is not a country that any of us would want to live in
Stalin used to stifle free thought. Welcome to new Canada.
The looney left are the new book burning fascists. It is a slippery slope whe the fabulous dictate what should be read and seen by the rest.
Cowards.
Cinema operators have dirty rooms.
When are these cowardly, sensory overload, Leftist going to learn? The more you try to censor people, the more people want to know what is being censored.
Of course they cancelled his documentary, he has some very controversial thinking, he actually claims that there are physiological and psychological difference between the sexes. - How outrageous!!!
Toronto cinema discriminates against a white man?
