Fox News could be banned from Canadian TV as CRTC considers allegations network promotes ‘hatred and violence’



The federal agency tasked with regulating Canada’s broadcasting and television services is mulling a ban on Fox News from Canadian cable packages.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) is seeking public comments on whether to remove the right-wing network from its list of stations authorized for distribution in Canada.

The CRTC’s consultation process, running until June 2, follows an open letter issued by the LGBTQ advocacy group Egale Canada, which argued the American channel promotes “hatred and violence against 2SLGBTQI communities.”

Egale Canada said the program’s now former host, conservative commentator Tucker Carlson, made “false and horrifying claims” about individuals who are Two-Spirit, transgender, non-binary and gender nonconforming.
