CRTC Schedules Hearing to License Foreign Broadcasters
We are going to hold a broader hearing—so that is forthcoming—on how we treat foreign services who are operating in Canada,” she said, without providing a specific hearing date.
Ms. Eatrides reiterated this point in response to Mr. Julian’s question.
The incident, which involved a speeding vehicle crashing into a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol booth, initially raised concerns of a terror attack, prompted by Fox News reporting speculations.
In its reply to Egale Canada on Sept. 19, the CRTC said that many among the over 7,000 submissions it had received shared Egale’s concerns but that “others expressed opposing views.”
During his show on March 28, Mr. Carlson had commented on the killing of several children and adults at a private Christian school in Nashville a day earlier by a shooter identifying as transgender.
“It was just last week that we noticed that parts of the transgender movement seemed to be getting militant and possibly dangerous,” Mr. Carlson said, adding that some transgender individuals “seem to be mad, specifically at traditional Christians.”
The CRTC’s decision to hold public consultations on Egale’s request to ban Fox News was an uncommon step, given that the regulator had removed only one channel from the list of approved foreign broadcasters on Canadian cable television in recent years.
