I caught a talking head discussion on one of the big news networks about this last night. The Canadian guy was talking about how Americans bleep out curse words, but show people get riddled with bullets on tv. It was like watching the South Park movie, with the "Canadian Minister of Movies."
The Canadian government is right on top of this one though :

Canadian Minister Calls for 50 Cent Ban
50 Cent should be prevented from touring Canada next month because he promotes gun-related violence, according to a Canadian MP.
Hip-hop star 50 Cent could be banned from performing in Canada next month, if a crusading gun-crime politician has his way. The In Da Club hitmaker, real name Curtis Jackson, faces opposition for allegedly promoting gun violence, in his rap lyrics and with new film Get Rich Or Die Tryin’. MP Dan McTeague fears that his upcoming tour, which kicks off in Vancouver on December 3, will incite gangland brawls and potentially escalate the recent wave of fatal shootings in the country.
