Egale said Carlson鈥檚 show, and Fox News鈥� programming, is in 鈥渃lear violation of Canadian broadcasting standards and has no place on Canadian broadcasting networks.鈥�
It called for the CRTC to remove Fox News from its list of non-Canadian programming authorized for distribution in Canada.
Egale added Fox News 鈥渋ncites hate, violence, and discrimination in its programming against the 2SLGBTQI people and other equity-deserving communities.鈥�
