Access DENIED: Parks Canada shoots down Neeson film for politically incorrect plot line – The Rebel

Liam Neeson wont be able to bring his infamous particular set of skills to Canada, thanks to political correctness.

A film starring the actor was denied access to the Banff and Jasper national parks by Parks Canada, which wouldnt issue a film permit because the film features an aboriginal gang leader.

Legendary Metis Canadian actor Tom Jackson was cast in the role, making it a diverse production. But even still, Parks Canada told the location manager of the film that the movie didnt align with Parks Canadas values and priorities.

If the roles were reversedNeeson played the bad guy and Jackson played the aboriginal detectiveit seems like the government would be fine with it.

Take a look at some National Film Board grant recipients and youll find that not all arms of the government mind controversy in film.

In fact, in some cases its desirable.

But not for Parks Canada, which protects our public spaces by picking and choosing which fictional storylines are allowed to be shot there.
