NoneDETROIT (WXYZ) — The Lions fan involved in the heated exchange at the Thursday night football game with Green Bay Head Coach Matt LaFleur is speaking out about what exactly happened. Fahad Yousif is a die-hard Lions fan and season ticket holder. He says from the age of ten, all he could do was talk about his love for the Lions. “I don’t love many things. I love my wife. I love my family and I love the Detroit Lions," Yousif said. "I have a Lions tattoo on my leg.” INTERVIEW: Lions fan talks about heated exchange with Packers head coach: As a season ticket holder, he gets to choose one perk per season. On Thursday, he chose to help carry out the U.S. Flag during the National Anthem with his wife, which he has done before. The last time he did that, he talked some smack talk with the opposing team as well. He says the team smiled at his snide remarks and egged him on. But that wasn't what happened Thursday night. “We’re about five, ten yards away from the sideline just kind of looking at all the players, definitely letting them know you’re going down, you’re done it’s over, let them know we’re gonna beat you two times, once home, once here and [LaFleur] didn’t like that," Yousif said. “Once I did the throat slash he absolutely lost it which I understand. I mean, I got caught up in the moment, and the fans, and the adrenaline and stuff but it was madness.” At a post-game press conference, LaFleur addressed the incident. Related Video: Watch the press conference below: "I've never been a part of something like that. He was talking junk to our players, giving them the throat-slash sign, you know. You're trying to de-escalate it. And then he gets in my face," he said. Yousif said the smack talk was all in good fun and that he wasn't expecting such a reaction from the head coach. Because of the altercation, Yousif did not get to walk the flag out to the field and was asked to take his seat. Before halftime, he was asked to leave the game altogether. He says some Lions fans have called him a hero, and others have told him they were disappointed in his behavior, which Yousif says he completely understands. “I love the Lions. The moment, I got caught up in it. I do feel a little bit like maybe I may have embarrassed some fans and the organization, but that is not my intentions at all. I absolutely love the team. I’m sad it worked out this way but I’m glad we got that win," he said. The whole ordeal was shocking for Yousif, who hasn't heard from the Lions if there would be any repercussions for the now-viral moment.The PTI rubbished reports about the arrests of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur and former first lady Bushra Bibi on Tuesday as the Pakistan Rangers regained control of Islamabad’s D-Chowk after beginning arrests and pushing back protesters from the venue of the party’s much-touted power show. Questioned about media reports regarding the alleged arrests, the PTI’s media cell told Dawn.com the rumours were “not true”. A Dawn.com correspondent reported that PTI protesters began retreating from the site in the face of heavy teargas shelling and action by the authorities. A statement posted on state broadcaster PTV ’s X account, attributed to “security sources”, said Blue Area was cleared and no operation was ongoing at the moment. Protesters earlier gathered at the site for the party’s protest to demand PTI founder Imran Khan’s release, among other things, amid reports of intense tear gas shelling by security forces to curtail the large crowds. The PTI convoys have been plying roads countrywide since Sunday. What we know so far: Dawn.com correspondents reported that there were blackouts in many areas of Islamabad, including D-Chowk, Jinnah Avenue, G6, G8 and G9. The PTI also shared footage of alleged firing by law enforcement agencies at party protesters, claiming that intense shelling was under way. Scores of people were injured, including journalists who were reportedly attacked by demonstrators, as dozens of PTI supporters allegedly beat a videographer covering the protest for The Associated Press and took his camera. He sustained head injuries and was treated in a hospital. Meanwhile, the Islamabad administration extended the shutdown of all educational institutes for another day on Wednesday. D-Chowk, a roundabout in Islamabad’s heavily fortified Red Zone, has long served as a spot for political protests. The junction leads to critical government buildings, including Parliament House, the Supreme Court of Pakistan, Pakistan Secretariat, and the Prime Minister’s Office. On Nov 13, Imran issued a “ final call ” for nationwide protests on Nov 24, demanding the restoration of the PTI’s electoral mandate, the release of detained party members and the reversal of the 26th Amendment , which he said has strengthened a “dictatorial regime”. Meanwhile, Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif, the KP chief minister’s adviser on information, said that Imran had agreed to the government’s suggested proposal to move the venue of the party’s protest from D-Chowk to the sub-urban areas but Bushra Bibi and the party had refused the suggestion. Last night, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi seemed to confirm talks with the protesting opposition party, saying that the government had offered Sangjani — the same venue on the outskirts of Islamabad where the PTI held its Sept 8 rally — for the protest. Late-night media reports had suggested that PTI leaders were trying to prevail upon Bushra Bibi, who is leading the main caravan of protesters coming from KP to Islamabad, to accept the proposal to change the protest venue. However, Barrister Saif said while speaking in an interview on Samaa News programme ‘Nadeem Malik Live’ today: “Our announcement since the beginning was regarding D-Chowk ... but the administration was not giving permission for it and then the Islamabad High Court issued an order [against it] as well so in this situation, a suggestion came from them (the government) to hold a rally in Islamabad’s suburbs and then granting permission could be considered. “We took that suggestion to Khan sahib and he expressed agreement after discussion that alright we are ready to hold it there. But the issue that arose was when we discussed the matter with our fellows so the party refused to accept it and they kept on insisting that we will go towards D-Chowk. Mainly, Bushra Bibi said she would only go to D-Chowk and told people to sit there.” He said Bushra Bibi was an “important personality” for the party in a political sense and was worthy of tribute and praise for her part in leading the PTI. Barrister Saif later said in an interview on Geo News show ‘Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath’ that no commitment was made by the PTI to change the protest venue to Sangjani and it was merely a suggestion from the government. He reiterated that the party’s senior leadership did not agree with the move. Earlier, the PTI shared a video on X of CM Gandapur addressing protesters while leading a convoy towards D-Chowk. The post used a hashtag of “first release, then negotiations”. Similarly, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan told Dawn.com : “There is no hope of talks between the government and PTI yet. The government has not made any contact yet.” Responding in kind, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi similarly ruled out any negotiations with the PTI while addressing a press conference with Information Minister Attaullah Tarar in Islamabad. Meanwhile, CM Gandapur said Imran had always talked about remaining peaceful and upholding the rule of law and warned the people to beware of elements among them who might try to instigate wrong acts. View this post on Instagram He renewed his vow to reach the planned protest venue. “We have to reach D-Chowk,” he told protesters near D-Chowk, who replied to his call with chants of “D-Chowk”. “Till Imran Khan doesn’t give orders [...] we have to protect him (Imran),” the PTI leader, accompanied by Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Omar Ayub Khan at the container, asserted. “We are peaceful. Let us hold a sit-in in a peaceful manner,” he added. A message posted on Imran’s X account also urged protesters to not back down till the party’s demands were met. The post alleged that law enforcement agencies “fired and shelled our workers and martyred and injured the peaceful citizens” on the interior minister’s orders, adding that he would have to answer for it. “The citizens were not only peaceful but also kept rescuing the police and rangers who were shelling and firing.” Bushra Bibi, wife of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan, and PTI supporters attend a rally demanding his release, in Islamabad on Nov 26, 2024. — Reuters/Waseem Khan Earlier, Bushra Bibi vowed to be the last woman standing at D-Chowk and said she would not leave without Imran, while addressing a large crowd of protesters at Blue Area alongside Gandapur and Ayub. She lamented Imran’s treatment in both Attock and Adiala Jail, questioning how an ex-premier could be treated the way he had been. “Khan is standing because of you and will continue standing for you, and you must promise that until Khan is with us, you will not leave D-Chowk. “I promise that I will be the last woman here, I will not leave D-Chowk without him. If anyone tells you otherwise, it is a lie,” she said to cheers from the crowd. “Muslims don’t hit other Muslims, so then why are you shelling us?” she questioned. View this post on Instagram Separately, following reports of heavy teargas shelling at protesters, Barrister Gohar called upon the government to “refrain from [firing] at innocent people”. “I called upon the government to refrain from firing at innocent people,” Gohar said on X . “I appeal [to] all PTI’s workers and supporters to remain peaceful in their struggle. I want to tell you all that we are very much hopeful of early release of [Imran] Khan sab , InshaAllah.” Visuals shared by a Dawn.com correspondent present at the scene at around 3pm showed dozens of PTI protesters gathering near Islamabad’s D-Chowk and climbing up containers placed there to obstruct their way. Army personnel were also standing on top of a container, the correspondent said. View this post on Instagram Later visuals showed protesters converging about 550 metres away from D-Chowk, where as many as three layers of containers could be seen piled atop each other. This screengrab shows the pin location of where PTI protesters had gathered at around 3pm on Nov 24, according to footage shared by a Dawn.com correspondent. — via Google Maps In a post on X , the PTI appealed to Islamabad’s residents to bring various items — including Betnesol-N eyedrops, rose water and drinking water — to the protesters to reduce the effect of teargas. The government and the PTI have apparently opened a ‘back-channel’ for the sake of negotiations. Naqvi said that they had offered the PTI an agreement to hold their rallies in Sangjani, which the party agreed to twice but did not abide by the “ceasefire”. Mohsin Naqvi speaks at D-Chowk on Nov 26, 2024. — DawnNewsTV “So much so that they had asked us to open the routes to Sangjani,” he said while speaking to the media at D-Chowk earlier today. “We have spoken with them in every way. [...] I had said this yesterday too that let’s stand at the D-Chowk right now and start firing there, then no person would be seen there. “But we do not plan to do that,” the minister asserted. The interior minister said he had informed the Islamabad inspector general that it was up to him to tackle the protesters “however he wishes”. “We will definitely support him.” While confirming reports of the army being deployed in Islamabad, the interior minister said that the forces’ priority was to protect the visiting Belarusian delegation and the Red Zone. “Your head of state is in the Red Zone right now and his protection is of the utmost importance for us,” Naqvi said, referring to PM Shehbaz. He alleged that the PTI was using resources of the KP government led by it, including teargas shells. “Their entire leadership does not want this bloodshed, except for one secret hand behind them controlling every single thing,” he said. When asked about the number of PTI protesters heading for Islamabad, Naqvi said there were “three to four convoys”, claiming all of them were from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. PTI supporters attend a rally demanding release of former prime minister Imran Khan, in Islamabad on Nov 26, 2024. — Reuters Dawn quoted police officers as saying that the convoy of the PTI leaders and workers coming from KP comprised over 34,000 persons. Meanwhile, Naqvi said three Rangers personnel and a Punjab policeman lost their lives on Monday, in what he said was an “attack by miscreants”. Addressing the media at Islamabad’s D-Chowk, Naqvi said: “Yesterday, a total of our four people were martyred, including three Rangers and a Punjab police official.” Stating that two Rangers and four Islamabad policemen were in critical condition, Naqvi said two additional superintendent of police (ASP) and a superintendent of police (SP) were among the injured. The minister further said that 70 Punjab cops were also injured, five of whom were in critical condition. Barrister Saif called for an inquiry in response to the government’s allegations and said the PTI was ready to face any investigation. In an earlier statement issued by his ministry, Naqvi had said four Rangers personnel had lost their lives in an alleged attack, condemning it in the strongest terms. Meanwhile, state-run Radio Pakistan reported the deaths of five personnel, including three Rangers and two Punjab police. “Scores of others were injured in attacks by the violent PTI workers,” the report claimed, adding that 22 vehicles of the Punjab police had been damaged. “The police have arrested several violent protesters, while [the] process of identifying the perpetrators is underway,” the state media asserted. A previous report had also stated that “five other Rangers personnel and several police officials sustained severe injuries”. While an updated report did not specify the cause of the deaths, an earlier version, citing security sources, had said “miscreants rammed a vehicle into Rangers personnel” on Srinagar Highway in Islamabad. The report had said a “bunch of miscreants, equipped with weapons and ammunition, pelted stones at the Rangers personnel and carried out indiscriminate firing on the security personnel at Chungi No 26 in Rawalpindi”. Resultantly, the report said, a ranger personnel sustained serious injuries and was shifted to Rawalpindi Combined Military Hospital in critical condition. A press release from the Inter Services Public Relations today said the funeral prayers for the three were offered at Chaklala Garrison with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir in attendance. “Pakistan cannot afford any chaos and bloodshed for achieving vested political purposes. These acts of violence are unacceptable and highly condemnable which are bordering the limits of restraint by the law enforcement agencies. The entire nation pays homage to the martyred Rangers soldiers and all those police officials who have embraced martyrdom and those who are injured during these riots,” the press release quoted the prime minister as saying. On the other hand, PTI Central Information Secretary Waqas Akram alleged that six people died due to shooting by the “fascist government”. He further claimed that 45-60 injured were reported to be admitted to the Polyclinic and Pims hospitals for treatment. The party earlier claimed that “paramilitary Rangers shot live ammunition” at its protesters in Islamabad, resulting in the death of two and injuring another four. “Participants claim they saw at least six people being shot, two of whom died on the spot and four were taken to hospital,” the party said on X . In a separate post , the party claimed that the “unarmed” party workers were under intense tear gas shelling by law enforcement agencies. The “fake” government is willing to go to any extent to maintain its illegal occupation, the party said. It added that the government, through its use of state institutions against its own people, was “not only inciting hatred among Pakistanis but also becoming the cause of Pakistan’s disgrace in front of the world”. Tarar, while speaking to the media earlier, lamented that PTI leadership like Bushra Bibi was “hiding in Shaheed-i-Millat” while allegedly sending children and labourers “to the front lines”, who he claimed were throwing tear gas at the police. Attaullah Tarar speaks to media in Islamabad. — DawnNewsTV “The state is being very patient and not giving in to the demands simply because Bushra Bibi planned this and wants bloodshed and bodies to pile up,” he said. Tarar issued a challenge to Imran, saying: “Bring your three children to the front lines, Tyrian, Qassim, Suleiman.” The minister stressed that the PTI chooses to hold a protest only when a foreign delegation visits from overseas. “Why at this location? Because they are enemies of the state and want to spread anarchy, which we will not allow.” “We are responding, but not the way you want, that we respond to your bullets with bullets,” the minister asserted. According to Tarar, he spoke to protesters who admitted that they were paid for attending the protest. Tarar also noted that Rangers, police and the armed forces have been deployed in the capital. Separately, a resolution demanding a ban on the PTI was submitted in the Punjab Assembly by PML-N MPA Hina Pervez Butt. It said the assembly strongly condemned the PTI’s “attack on the federation in droves” and criticised the alleged actions of protesters. PM Shehbaz also condemned the “attack by protesters” as state media reported that four Rangers personnel and two cops were left dead as a vehicle “rammed” into them. In his statement, PM Shehbaz said the “attack” was carried out “using a vehicle on Srinagar Highway. He directed that those involved in the incident be identified immediately and brought to justice. The premier also ordered that the best possible medical facilities be provided to the Rangers and police personnel “injured in the attack”. He said that “attacks on police and Rangers, under the guise of a so-called peaceful protest”, were condemnable. PM Shehbaz noted that police and Rangers were assigned to maintain law and order in Islamabad, asserting, in an apparent reference to the PTI, that an “anarchist group seeks bloodshed”. He emphasised that this was not a peaceful protest, but extremism. The prime minister said Pakistan cannot afford any form of chaos or bloodshed. “Bloodshed for nefarious political agenda is unacceptable and highly condemnable.” Naqvi also vowed to hold the miscreants involved to account, reaffirming his support for the families of the deceased. Policemen fire tear gas shells to disperse PTI supporters during a protest to demand the release of former prime minister Imran Khan, in Islamabad on Nov 26, 2024. — AFP PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari condemned the incident as well, terming it “outright terrorism” and calling for the suspects involved to be brought to justice. “The Rangers and police personnel who embraced martyrdom were brave sons of the nation,” he said in a statement . “The PPP’s stance about the right to peaceful protest [compared to] mischief and terrorism is clear,” the PPP chief said. Meanwhile, as tensions between PTI protesters and the government heightened, the Pakistan Army was called into Islamabad on Tuesday to “deal with miscreants”, state-run Radio Pakistan reported . “Under Article 245, the Pakistan Army has been called in, and orders have been issued to deal with the miscreants with an iron hand,” Radio Pakistan stated. “Clear orders have also been issued to shoot miscreants and troublemakers on sight,” it added. Citing security sources, the report said all necessary measures were being taken to “counter terrorist activities by disruptive and extremist elements”. While the Associated Press of Pakistan reported the same citing security sources, it is not confirmed whether a notification for the requisition has been issued so far. Dawn.com has reached out to the interior ministry for a comment. International rights organisation Amnesty International called on the government to immediately rescind the alleged “shoot-on-sight” orders and also to fully protect and ensure the rights of protesters. “The authorities must exercise maximum restraint, aiming to prevent and de-escalate violence and to avoid the use of force. “Any use of force must be lawful and no more than is necessary and proportionate and the authorities must take all necessary measures to prevent arbitrary deprivation of life, including by ensuring that law enforcement actions are adequately planned to minimise the risk to life. There must also be effective accountability for any unlawful use of force.” It said the severe restrictions on assembly, movement and mobile and internet services, as well as arbitrary detentions of “thousands of protesters across Pakistan, particularly in Islamabad”, were a grave violation of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly, movement and expression. A Dawn.com correspondent also reported seeing troops of the Pakistan Army deployed at D-Chowk. Pakistan Army stands guard near D-Chowk, Islamabad on Nov 26, 2024. — Photo by Umar Bacha Naqvi hinted at the move yesterday, stating that the government would deal with violent protesters with an iron hand . He warned that he would not hesitate to impose a curfew or invoke Article 245, which empowered the government to call armed forces for security purposes. The PTI’s protest, which the government is determined to foil with force, was originally scheduled to be staged on November 24 . However, the party’s convoys took a breather on Sunday night as PTI leaders said they were in “ no hurry ” to reach the federal capital for their ‘do or die’ protest. The PTI protesters, some of them employing industrial fans to counter tear gas, crossed Islamabad’s Toll Plaza on Monday night as the government vowed to not spare those behind a cop’s death in “violence of miscreants”. As PTI workers from across the country attempted to defy arrests, baton charges and tear gas to participate in the agitation, around 800 PTI leaders and supporters were arrested from across Punjab as well as in and near Islamabad on Sunday. In an update, capital police officials told Dawn that during the ongoing protests, over 500 local PTI leaders and workers have been arrested in Islamabad. Anticipating more arrests, the Islamabad administration declared the Crime Intelligence Agency’s building in the federal capital as a sub-jail to detain PTI leaders and workers. The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has ruled that PTI’s planned protest is unlawful and directed the federal government to take all necessary measures to maintain law and order in Islamabad without disrupting public life, particularly as the Belarusian president’s arrival coincided with the protest. Separately, the Pakistan Cricket Board said that it postponed the last two matches of the Pakistan Shaheens-Sri Lanka ‘A’ series due to “political activity” in the federal capital. According to a press release , the PCB said the last two matches were scheduled for Wednesday and Friday at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium but both boards will now collaborate to finalise new dates to complete the series. It added that the Shaheens lead the series, having won the two four-day matches 1-0 and the opening 50-over match on Monday by 108 runs. Additional input from APP.sports 808 。

What’s happening recently with TikTok is the perfect example to sum up the ongoing situation. That said, it’s not alone. Other giants including Meta have been treated similarly. Now, Australia is doing something big in this regard. Today, Australia’s majority party introduced a bill in parliament that would ban teenagers under 16 from using social media. Australia’s Labor Party proposes a bill to ban teenagers below 16 years from using social media The proposed bill would directly impact top social media apps like Instagram , TikTok, Snapchat, and X. From the looks of it, Australia wants to hold the platforms accountable instead of parents and children. It’s worth noting that repeated violations of the proposed law would attract a hefty fine of up to AUD 49.5 million ($32.2 million). The Labor Party’s bill also requires platforms to destroy the collected data of underage users. There are a few exemptions, though. Teenagers below 16 will have access to social media apps promoting online gaming, messaging, health, and education-related services. This includes the young mental health support app HeadSpace, Google’s YouTube, and Google Classroom. Reuters reports that Australia also plans to trial a different age verification system . The new system may require users to provide biometrics or government identifications to prove they meet the set social media age cut-off. The news agency further notes that this law is “ some of toughest controls imposed by any country to date .” There are no exemptions in regard to parental consent It’s worth noting that the proposed bill would have no exemption for parental consent or pre-existing accounts . In a statement, Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese said, “ This is a landmark reform. We know some kids will find workarounds, but we’re sending a message to social media companies to clean up their act.” Speaking in parliament, Communications Minister, Michelle Rowland said, “ For too many young Australians, social media can be harmful. Almost two-thirds of 14 to 17-year-old Australians have viewed extremely harmful content online, including drug abuse, suicide or self-harm. ” He further added, “ Social media has a social responsibility, that’s why we are making big changes to hold platforms to account for user safety. ” Worth noting that the opposition Liberal Party supports the new bill, while the Green Party has criticized it and seeks more details about it. Several countries around the globe are already working towards curbing excessive use of social media by children. However, Australia’s law now stands as one of the most stringent.

Rangers' Igor Shesterkin gets extension, sets record for goalie payTheir ages vary. But a conspicuous handful of filmmaking lions in winter, or let’s say late autumn, have given us new reasons to be grateful for their work over the decades — even for the work that didn’t quite work. Which, yes, sounds like ingratitude. But do we even want more conventional or better-behaved work from talents such as Francis Ford Coppola? Even if we’re talking about “Megalopolis” ? If Clint Eastwood’s “Juror #2” gave audiences a less morally complicated courtroom drama, would that have mattered, given Warner Bros.’ butt-headed decision to plop it in less than three dozen movie theaters in the U.S.? Coppola is 85. Eastwood is 94. Paul Schrader, whose latest film “Oh, Canada” arrives this week and is well worth seeking out, is a mere 78. Based on the 2021 Russell Banks novel “Foregone,” “Oh, Canada” is the story of a documentary filmmaker, played by Richard Gere, being interviewed near the end of his cancer-shrouded final days. In the Montreal home he shares with his wife and creative partner, played by Uma Thurman, he consents to the interview by two former students of his. Gere’s character, Leonard Fife, has no little contempt for these two, whom he calls “Mr. and Mrs. Ken Burns of Canada” with subtle disdain. As we learn over the artful dodges and layers of past and present, events imagined and/or real, Fife treats the interview as a final confession from a guarded and deceptive soul. He’s also a hero to everyone in the room, famous for his anti-Vietnam war political activism, and for the Frederick Wiseman-like inflection of his own films’ interview techniques. The real-life filmmaker name-checked in “Oh, Canada” is documentarian Errol Morris, whose straight-to-the-lens framing of interview subjects was made possible by his Interrotron device. In Schrader’s adaptation, Fife doesn’t want the nominal director (Michael Imperioli, a nicely finessed embodiment of a second-rate talent with first-rate airs) in his eyeline. Rather, as he struggles with hazy, self-incriminating memories of affairs, marriages, one-offs with a friend’s wife and a tense, brief reunion with the son he never knew, Fife wants only his wife, Emma — his former Goddard College student — in this metaphoric confessional. Schrader and his editor Benjamin Rodriguez Jr. treat the memories as on-screen flashbacks spanning from 1968 to 2023. At times, Gere and Thurman appear as their decades-young selves, without any attempt to de-age them, digitally or otherwise. (Thank god, I kind of hate that stuff in any circumstance.) In other sequences from Fife’s past, Jacob Elordi portrays Fife, with sly and convincing behavioral details linking his performance to Gere’s persona. We hear frequent voiceovers spoken by Gere about having ruined his life by age 24, at least spiritually or morally. Banks’ novel is no less devoted to a dying man’s addled but ardent attempt to come clean and own up to what has terrified him the most in the mess and joy of living: Honesty. Love. Commitment. There are elements of “Oh, Canada” that soften Banks’ conception of Fife, from the parentage of Fife’s abandoned son to the specific qualities of Gere’s performance. It has been 44 years since Gere teamed with Schrader on “American Gigolo,” a movie made by a very different filmmaker with very different preoccupations of hetero male hollowness. It’s also clearly the same director at work, I think. And Gere remains a unique camera object, with a stunning mastery of filling a close-up with an unblinking stillness conveying feelings easier left behind. The musical score is pretty watery, and with Schrader you always get a few lines of tortured rhetoric interrupting the good stuff. In the end, “Oh, Canada” has an extraordinarily simple idea at its core: That of a man with a movie camera, most of his life, now on the other side of the lens. Not easy. “I can’t tell the truth unless that camera’s on!” he barks at one point. I don’t think the line from the novel made it into Schrader’s script, but it too sums up this lion-in-winter feeling of truth without triumphal Hollywood catharsis. The interview, Banks wrote, is one’s man’s “last chance to stop lying.” It’s also a “final prayer,” dramatized by the Calvinist-to-the-bone filmmaker who made sure to include that phrase in his latest devotion to final prayers and missions of redemption. “Oh, Canada” — 3 stars (out of 4) No MPA rating (some language and sexual material) Running time: 1:34 How to watch: Opens in theaters Dec. 13, running 1in Chicago Dec. 13-19 at the Gene Siskel Film Center, 164 N.
