Eric Blais: Tucker Carlson is only a guest in Canada. The CRTC should remind FOX News. | National Newswatch
that he is “completely in favour of a Bay of Pigs operation to liberate that country”, forgetting to mention how that invasion attempt turned out.
It’s hard to say how many Canadians actually tune in to Mr. Carlson’s shows on FOX but the more Mr. Carlson calls Canada a, the more Canadians pay attention to the right-wing philosopher from Maine. Ian Scott, the head of CRTC then, added: “Freedom of speech and a range of perspectives are a necessary part of our democracy. However, it is a privilege and not a right to be broadcast in Canada.”
As a regulator, the CRTC wasn’t shy about requesting that CBC/Radio-Canada issue a written apology last year for having used the N-word on a radio show. Host Annie Desrochers and commentator Simon Jodoin had used the word in the context of an on-air discussion about a petition that demanded the dismissal of a Concordia University professor who had quoted the title of a well-known book by Pierre Vallières that includes the N-word. CBC/Radio Canada apologized but appealed the CRTC decision.
