An interesting contrast in Canada, where in the same week the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission managed to ban popular Quebec radio station CHOI FM for its expletive-filled diatribes and offensiveness to the entire world -- and, with certain restrictions, permit the broadcast of Al Jazeera on Canadian cable tv.
Why, you may wonder, is a station which gained a huge local following by running Howard Stern-like hosts worse than a station that shows beheadings and gives a platform to terrorists? Has there ever been a better demonstration that Canada's fetish of multi-culturalism and free speech has gone too far?
