I understand. My point was they shut it down because they used "bad words" and insults, not because they violated Canadian law. The idea that the CRTC only shuts down stations that are violating Canadian law is not true.
By the way, I used to listen to that radio station and it was pretty mild compared to what you often hear on American talk shows. They were occasionally disrespectful towards some celebrities and politicians, but that's it. It's clear to me that they were unfairly targeted for being the only libertarian-leaning radio station in the province. 50,000 people marched in Quebec city to contest the decision, the largest such march since the 1960s.
- bawolff 4y agoThe law of the land is whatever the court says it is after exhausting all appeals. They lost all their appeals. Whether you describe the issue as "bad words" or failing to obtain a broadcast license due to non compliance, is just semantics
- olalonde 4y agoThe courts ruled on whether the CRTC was authorized to shut them down, not on whether CHOI broke Canadian law.
