Canadian government funding org Telefilm has launched an investigation into one of its top film executives following allegations of misconduct.
Telefilm has faced extensive backlash in the last week after Canadian independent filmmaker Pavan Moondi, who is now based in Los Angeles, raised questions about the org’s selection criteria for funding and demanded clarity around its diversity standards.
Moondi — a former “Schitt’s Creek” story editor and writer-director of feature films such as 2017’s “Sundowners” — took to Twitter on July 3 to share his experiences with Dan Lyon, Telefilm’s feature film executive for Ontario and Nunavut, whom Moondi named in an extensive thread that used screenshots of a recent email exchange between the two.

The battle between the Silicon Valley greats isn't typical corporate warfare. It's a clash between two organizations fighting for their missions (and, yes, their money).
So that was a bit embarrassing for Facebook. It appears the company was just caught red-handed trying to surreptitiously engineer a smear campaign about Google and alleged privacy violations.
But despite the amount of egg on Facebook’s face this week, don’t expect this to be the last time the social network tries to convince the world that the search giant is violating fundamental principles of correct behavior. Or vice versa.
A battle is brewing between the two companies, but it won’t be a conventional fight between two businesses trying to protect market share. It won’t even been an ideological battle. Rather, it will be an epic clash between two companies with overpowering senses of mission--and ones they will battle furiously to further and protect.
