No, I don't like it either, but some of what you see as censorship I see as the legitimate function of our government and our laws. The CRTC sucks, no two ways about it.

THat sounds schizophrenic to me. You say, in the same sentence, that you don't like it and that it sucks, but you support the government for doing it. You give legitimacy to something you believe is wrong. If you truly don't like it, why don't you do something to change it? Have you ever tried or do you just accespt whatever the government decides is OK?

"THat sounds schizophrenic to me. You say, in the same sentence, that you don't like it and that it sucks, but you support the government for doing it."

To be exact, what you quoted is two sentences. As to first, it was poorly constructed on my part. The CRTC's practices suck, as does our move towards hate speech laws (mostly promulgated by activist judges under the auspices of the constitution and the Human Rights act). The control over the broadcasting of election results until all the polls have closed, and the restrictions on the reporting of court cases where publication bans are in effect (although bans are overused IMO) are legitimate functions of our government IMO.

As to changing it, I vote, I write my representatives, and I discuss these issues with others in an attempt to make them understand. Maybe there's more I could do, but like most of us, I have a life to lead, too.
