This latest proposed ban is significantly more serious than the CHOI-FM dispute, in the sense that they're now considering banning an entire channel because of a complaint that one particular program on that channel was allegedly in violation of particular norms. At least with CHOI-FM the alleged offending content was peppered throughout the day.
(I'm not saying either move is a sign of a healthy society, but this latest proposed ban is a step beyond. It's basically communicating to channel operators that absolutely all of their content has to fall in line, or they risk an end to their business. It doesn't even matter if the CRTC ultimately decides not to impose a ban here -- there is now a content-based sword of damocles over every channel.)
