I've never understood how some people (and this is not directed at you, Andy, Scott or anyone else in this thread) endlessly argue that private enterprises should be free to do as they choose -- until a private enterprise does something they disagree with.This is not censorship, at least not in the American constitutional "freedom of speech" sense. The Toronto Symphony is a private enterprise and presumably can book or not book anyone they please (though Canadian law is not my area of expertise, I think it's similar in this area) just as Sony Pictures can choose not to release a satire about Kim Jong-Un or theaters can choose not to screen it. This kind of legal "private censorship" is routine and doesn't get much press except in extreme or excessively obvious cases.
People who don't like it should keep that in mind when considering the issue of government funding of the arts.
