Papers please!

I was watching a TVO program the other night on Stalin's crack down on subversive art in the Russian past. Matisse, Picasso, Monet, and many more painters' works were called "capitalistic, depraved art". As far as Stalin and his little band of cronies were concerned, they knew more than the millions of Russian citizens and their arrogance drove art underground.

How far are we away from Stalanist rule when PM Harper tells Canadians that certain movies, books and/or art will not be supported by Canadians because they do not fall within the restrictive sphere of what is moral to him and his small group of cronies?
