Update on Prohibited Importations Unit (PIU) of Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA): "Quarterly Lis

Twitch, in association with GOMORRAHY.com, is now providing downloadable PDF files of the six most recent issues of the "Quarterly List of Admissible and Prohibited Titles" of the Prohibited Importations Unit (PIU) of Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The issues collectively cover a 18-month period from July 1, 2004 to December 31st, 2005. Each one contains a list of titles reviewed by the PIU, which determined whether the material in question is "admissible" or "prohibited" - that is, whether or not the importation of the material into Canada is permitted - based on whether or not it deemed the material to be "obscenity, hate propaganda or child pornography".

If you would like to receive free issues of the "Quarterly List of Admissible and Prohibited Titles" at the end of each quarter (i.e., four times a year), in PDF file format via e-mail, please contact the PIU at

For those who may be wondering what an article on material deemed by the PIU to be "obscenity, hate propaganda or child pornography" has to do with the kind of movies normally discussed here on ScreenAnarchy, it should be noted that on Friday September 10, 2004, CBSA arrested a man for importing into Canada a copy of Bo Arne Vibenius' Thriller - A Cruel Picture (Thriller - en grym film), and on Monday July 28, 2003, CBSA - then Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) - arrested me for importing into Canada a copy of Catherine Breillat's Cannes-prizewinning Fat Girl (À ma sœur !). BTW, both of these movies currently are being sold on DVD at that cesspool of "obscenity, hate propaganda [and] child pornography" known as the Twitch DVD Store.
