Fox News had been considered for awhile. The government-run stations up here did not want the pro-America news to reach us. We aren't allowed to have a different view from our liberal keepers in Ottawa.
It was actually approved long after they approved Al-Jazeera, but before the president's visit. It could have been partly due to the 387,922,450 emails I sent the CRTC, but I'm not sure.
LOL Good on you!
