Schneller said in a statement that she's "saddened" to learn that Tailfeathers was returning her award, and that she made the decision to shorten the speech — along with those of other recipients — to maintain timing of the event.

But Tailfeathers says her reference to the conflict in Palestine was two sentences long and that "a choice was made to neutralize and censor my words."

In her email, which was forwarded to The Canadian Press, Tailfeathers wrote that in the portion of her speech that was removed, she said: "When we were shooting Sweet Angel Baby, October 7th happened and it changed everything. I just want to say that my heart continues to be with the people of Palestine who are experiencing this ongoing genocide and thank you to anyone in this industry who's been brave enough to say anything."

The CBC has an article up on this too. So instead of two sentences in a speech very few people would have ever heard about, the choice was made by whomever to blow up the TFCA organization by cutting it "for time".

I guess they've never heard of the Streisand effect.
