Flattening the Waves in Canada

Intellectual fads sweep across nations and civilizations frequently. Some windy and heated blows leave behind a deposit of stupidity that get into the mental furniture of the population at large. It gets into everything eventually, down into the very cracks of culture at the lowest level. What was discussed in seminar rooms 30 years ago sometimes makes its way into discussion in the homeless drop-in centre committee rooms to be discussed by the lumpen-intelligentsia as the latest idea, the most important. Everyone seems to be imbued with the thinest layer of this nonsense and it floats as they walk and talk, clouding the air we breathe. Few even notice the pollution. Mention it on the airwaves though, and then, rather than clearing the air of stupidities, one might find the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council involved and irate. Who the Hell are they? And why does a nation like Canada have such a gang? I have no idea. Does anyone have any idea why a nation needs such creations?

Ottawa radio host chastized for making "abusive and discriminatory," but true, statements about Islam and Muslims

Free Speech Death Watch Update: "Ottawa radio station chastised for comments on Muslims," by Chris Cobb for the Ottawa Citizen,

February 6 (thanks to the indomitable and magnificent Kathy Shaidle, who asks, "Dear me: how all this 'words can rape, maim and leave you for dead in a ditch!!' alchemy operates is an awful big mystery to poor stupid rightwinger me... "):

OTTAWA — A veteran open-line radio host in Ottawa [Lowell Green] contravened Canadian broadcasting standards when he made "abusive and discriminatory" remarks against Muslims, the national broadcast watchdog ruled Friday.

According to the ,Canadian Broadcast Standards Council, Lowell Green launched an "uninformed and unfair" attack when he told his CFRA audience in early December that the majority of Muslims are fanatics, and extremist behaviour is symptomatic of the religion, not just a radical minority.
