CBC News Online Court rules against Ontario Film Review Board TORONTO - An Ontario court has ruled that the province's Film Review Board can no longer ban films. The decision came Friday in a case against a gay bookstore in Toronto, Glad Day Bookshop, which was charged after agents from the Ontario Film Review Board bought a copy of an unapproved gay pornographic video.

The court suspended the board's authority to ban movies for a year, although it will still classify films with ratings such as PG and Restricted. 10:29:44 PM    comment [] 'Dude!
