TORONTO - A decision by Canada's broadcast regulator, the CRTC, yesterday approved a new all-homosexual radio station in Toronto. It is the first new English-language radio station approved by the CRTC since 2001. In 2003 the CRTC rejected the application for an all-Catholic radio station in Toronto. This, despite the fact that about 2 million of Toronto's (GTA) population of 4.5 million identify themselves as Catholic and surveys have demonstrated that only 1% of Canadians identify as homosexual.
Evidence of homosexual activism at the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) is present in the decision rendered yesterday, as one of the conditions, set out by the CRTC, under which the radio station was permitted its licence was that they fund gay 'pride week'. "The licensee shall contribute a minimum of $30,000 in each broadcast year to payments to musical artists showcased at the Pride Week celebrations," said the ruling.
In 2003, the CRTC rejected the application of the Catholic Radio Endeavour which attempted to commence an English-language all-Catholic radio station in the city, which is home to some two million Catholics. Tony Gosnach, a member of the Catholic Radio Endeavour, told LifeSiteNews.com, "After putting in lots of hard work, not to mention large amounts of money, toward an ultimately unsuccessful application for a full-time Catholic radio station in Toronto, I and others involved in that effort are appalled to learn that our federal broadcast regulatory body approved a gay FM radio station for Toronto."
Gosnach, a Catholic writer, assistant editor of the Interim and a member on the editorial board of Catholic Insight, has called on Catholics to express their concerns to their members of parliament, the Canadian Heritage Ministry and the CRTC.

"O, he's a lumberjack and he's okay, he sleeps all night and he works all day...."
I am not Catholic, but that's ridiculous. Typical Canadian socialism.
It's the end of the world as we know it...I feel fine...
If this surprises anyone, then they haven't been reading and keeping track of things here in FreeRepublic.
What's the next thing to happen in Canadian??? Uh....let's see, gay marriage, nope, already done. Socialized medicine, nope already done. Uhhhhhhhh.....Hillary Clinton as their next leader, yeeeeeehaaaaaa. YUPPPPP!!!!
PC and socialism are correlated for sure. PC is an euphemism for Nazism/Communism/Fascism. PC is the cancer on humanity that needs to be destroyed at all cost.
Maybe you can get in on the amnesty ~ a couple of years picking tomatoes in Ohio and you're good to go. No doubt you will be able to acquire the requisite records to prove your residency in the US up in Tranta, right?!
I'm curious how many Catholics voted for the liberal government that made this decision.
Don't ask me... I'm neither Catholic nor Canadian.
good grief ping

Strangely enough, I've never had any curiosity or desire to go to Canada. This article just confirms that I have great instincts, lol.
Geez, thanks for that comment.
1. A free vote on gay marriage will be undertaken in our new Parliament.
2.I can get a new knee here for $3,000 Canadian, and Shouldice Hospital is a private hospital established in 1945 by Dr. Edward Shouldice just north of Toronto, as two examples.
3. That one would be your nightmare. We have Stephen Harper.
