The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), Canada's broadcasting and telecommunications regulatory agency, is weighing whether to ban Fox News from Canadian cable packages after an LGBT advocacy group complained the American cable news channel was in "clear violation of Canadian broadcasting standards."
Eagle Canada, which describes itself as "Canada's leading organization for 2SLGBTQI people and issues," sent a letter to CRTC last month after it was featured on an episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight, which ironically is no longer a show on Fox News.
"Eagle Canada and a prominent Canadian leader for trans rights and inclusion were featured on the infamously incendiary Tucker Carlson Tonight program on the American Fox News Channel. The coverage aimed to provoke hatred and violence against 2SLGBTQI communities, particularly those who are Two Spirit, trans, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming (2STNBGN)," the group's letter stated, insisting Carlson's reporting about them was "inflammatory and false."
