In terms of social commentary on it's grounds, Parks Canada should only be bound by the law. If I'm at work or on a message board, I'm representing a larger entity to varying extents. This movie is not representing Parks Canada. Most likely it won't even have a mention of Parks Canada or anything related to it.

That's exactly what it's doing, and that's why they aren't allowing it.
Watch the credits of any movie filmed in a National Park. Go ahead.
I just think you're not actually looking at this from a basic, logical perspective and have immediately jumped to some outrage over a perceived social justice stance. Who are you representing by posting here? CP? Why? Because they simply gave you permission to post here? That's different than Parks Canada giving permission for a film to be made in a national park? Why?
If Parks Canada views your play as the sad attempt at proving a point, without any actual cultural substance or relevance that it definitely would be coming from polak, then yeah... they should definitely throw the "No" stamp on that bad boy. Sorry Shakespeare.
