Canadians have started to particapte in the public consultation, voicing an array of viewpoints about the controverisal U.S. TV network, Fox News. (Credit: Getty Images). Fox News may soon be banned from Canadian cable packages, with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) opening a public consultation process to help come to a decision.
The federal agency is in charge of regulating Canada’s broadcasting and television services, and has put Fox News under the microscope after an open letter by Egale Canada, a 2SLGBTQI advocacy group. Canadians have until June 2 to submit their thoughts as part of the public hearing.
The open letter, submitted on April 4, calls on the CTRC to remove Fox News from Canadian cable packages, after especially highlighting comments made by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who the group says made “false and horrifying claims about 2STNBGN [Two Spirit, trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming] people, painting them as violent and dangerous.”
Even though Carlson parted ways with Fox in late-April, Egale is highlighting that this is part of a larger problem.
"Egale Canada is pleased to see the CRTC open Part 1 into the removal of Fox News from Canadian distribution," said Jennifer Boyce, Egale's director of communications and marketing, to Yahoo Canada.
"We remain committed to the call in our open letter. The issue of Fox News inciting hate, violence, and discrimination in its programming extends beyond one individual."

What has the hosers all riled up about FOX?
Tucker did a few shows where he went after the PM (?). Said Canada was a dictatorship, etc.
LOL!
"2STNBGN [Two Spirit, trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming] people......"
Although I don’t usually follow Canadian news all that closely, the CRTC has just gained the power to regulate on-line content as well as over the air.
So they’re officially a 3rd world banana republic
Aye Fox, Take Off!
No need tucker is gone, there is no threat from anyone left on fox because they are all kissing the a## of their puppeteers
Well, they keep having people like Ezra Levant on. You can’t expect Fidel Turdeau to tolerate that!
