oh sweet jesus.
theres no Al Jazeera or RT in canada either.
canadians can still get that shit on satellite or on cable, but not via broadcast.
are you retarded?
further, there is no canadian law preventing media from lying.
even further, if there WERE such a law, fox would not be found in violation of it, since all the "Lies" you and the left assert are really just differences of opinion, while a similar law in the US whould shut down MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, and Bloomberg long before Fox.

I would think this would settle this, but probably not.
Since at least 2011, rumors have circulated claiming the Fox News television channel has been banned in Canada due to its running afoul of Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) prohibitions which make it "illegal to broadcast lies and label it news." One prominent example of this rumor states, for example, that:
have kept the Fox News Channel from gaining entry into Canada, or that they were invoked to boot Fox News out of that country after the channel was established there. The CRTC regulations apply only to Canadian broadcasters using Canadian airwaves; they do not apply to the Fox News Channel, which is a non-Canadian entity transmitted via satellite and cable, not broadcast over public airwaves.
Fox Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch was rebuffed in his efforts to establish Fox News Canada in 2003 due to Canadian laws regarding foreign ownership of print and broadcast media, but the CRTC approved an application to bring the Fox News Channel to Canadian digital television line-ups back in November 2004, and that channel is now carried by dozens of different digital providers throughout Canada. (The claimed distinction that Fox News is only allowed in Canada due to its being classified as an "entertainment" channel rather than as a "news" channel is a meaningless one, as those classifications only apply to Canadian media outlets, and Fox is an American company.)
The Fox Network, which is a broadcast entity distinctly different from the Fox News Channel, does not have any affiliates or owned-and-operated stations in Canada, but Fox Network programming is carried on cable and satellite providers in Canada through several U.S. stations located near the U.S.-Canada border.

One prominent example of this rumor states, for example, that:
America's middle class battles for its survival on the Wisconsin barricades against various Koch Oil surrogates and the corporate toadies at Fox News fans of enlightenment, democracy and justice can take comfort from a significant victory north of the Wisconsin border. Fox News will not be moving into Canada after all! The reason: Canadian regulators announced last week they would reject efforts by Canada's right-wing Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, to repeal a law that forbids lying on broadcast news.
Canada's Radio Act requires that "a licenser may not broadcast ... any false or misleading news." The provision has kept Fox News and right-wing talk radio out of Canada and helped make Canada a model for liberal democracy and freedom. As a result of that law, Canadians enjoy high quality news coverage, including the kind of foreign affairs and investigative journalism that flourished in this country before Ronald Reagan abolished the "Fairness Doctrine" in 1987.
It is true that various sections of CRTC regulations prohibit the broadcasting of "false or misleading news" by radio and television licensees, and that in 2011 the CRTC declined to narrow those regulations to apply only to "news that the licensee knows is false or misleading and that endangers or is likely to endanger the lives, health or safety of the public." However, it is not true that such regulations Canada's Radio Act requires that "a licenser may not broadcast ... any false or misleading news."

What happened to kids learning geography in school ?
Seems like the more money the govt. spends on educating the youth, the dumber the youth become.
Maybe, It's the old geezer in me, but I chuckle often when the person running the cash registar is baffled when I pull out change from my pocket to avoid getting more.

No, Canada has a law against foreign owned broadcast stations. So you're lying, still. Too bad there isn't a law against posting lies on the internet

If you'll admit you're lying about the reason.
