WINNIPEG — The appointment of longtime broadcaster Charles Adler to the Senate is being criticized in some quarters, including by a member of the federal cabinet.
Adler, who spent decades hosting talk-radio shows, was named to the Senate on the weekend by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and will represent Manitoba.
The complaint was rejected by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council, a voluntary self-regulatory organization for private broadcasters, the following year. The 1999 complaint centred partly on a radio segment in which Adler criticized governance and a lack of jobs on reserves. The complaint also included concerns about another CJOB host in a different time slot.
