The federal broadcast regulator's decision to cancel the licence of Quebec City radio station CHOI-FM unleashed a heated debate yesterday, as politicians, journalists and broadcasters weighed in on the ruling's impact on free expression.

Yet on another front, this same bloated bureaucracy grants a licence to Al-Jazeera known for its bias and hatred of Israel and America and the western hemisphere at large.

OTTAWA (CP) - The Arabic Al-Jazeera network has been cleared for viewing by Canadians.

In a decision bound to stir controversy, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, the federal regulator, granted the network approval Thursday for distribution by cable companies. While cable companies want the network, the Canadian Jewish Congress and others argue that Al-Jazeera, often called the CNN of the Arab world, broadcasts anti-Semitic programs.

On a third front this useless bureaucracy has yet again denied a licence to Fox News.

Not only has this ridiculous bunch of tin pot communikations diktators managed to enact a law making it illegal to subscribe, let alone steal signals from space, they are once again informing you of what you can and cannot watch. Your tax dollars at work. . . .

And you wonder why this country is referred to as Canukistan?

There's a lot of good stuff getting yanked off the air or censured to the point of not being good stuff anymore. All 'cause of Janets boob. Stupid.

Doesn't break my heart. What are the reasons for this? I don't like censorship, but there most be another reason for the denied licence? I dunno.

Just for the sake of argument, had Fox been broadcasted into Canada for the last five years, do you think Canada would have joined the coalition of the bribed and bullied in Iraq?

I think you 're the only person who uses that term.

And furthermore if you don't like it your free to complain to whoever you want whenever you want without fear of being labeled a traitor or a terrorist or be sent to Guantanamo Bay without charges or be held without access to legal council, tortured, starved and basically left to rot, unless of course you live in the USA.

Isn't Fox being refused a license because we already have plethora of American news on Canadian airwaves? We don't have a lot of viewpoints from the Middle East though, so it would make sense that al Jazeera be allowed a license. That license, by the way, makes the cable companies carrying AJ responsible for content. They will have to keep tapes for up to two months and can be held responsible for any hate laws that AJ breaks.
