Oh No, Not again

I swear I used to have a bio... What do people even put in their bio? Call me whatever pronouns you want, Canadian, my age is 25+ (I usually like to make people guess, because it's fun?), ... what else should I put?

I think Kingfishers are my favourite birds and there were so many Pied Kingfishers in Aswan, I must have a hundred pictures of them.

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.

It is 2am. I am still buzzing from Sunday, spending some five hours in a blizzard, chanting, trying to stay warm, regretting not bringing the shell of my winter coat, jumping up and down, hating the referee, watching through snow-covered glasses, wildly celebrating an amazing goal that I absolutely did not see, losing my voice shouting with friends. Champions ❤️

I was going to a s*x shop the other day and my friend jokingly asked me to get her a St Andrews cross, so I made her one ☺️

Ban Fox News from TV, CRTC hears as thousands of Canadians write to regulator.

OTTAWA — Thousands of Canadians have weighed in on whether cable companies should be prohibited from distributing Fox News in Canada — and many of them appear to be in favour of a ban.

The CRTC launched the consultation after LGBTQ rights group Egale Canada asked it to ban the channel from Canadian cable packages in response to former Fox host Tucker Carlson’s comments about transgender individuals. The deadline for comments was Friday.

The CRTC heard from a number of LBGTQ and other rights groups criticizing Fox and supporting a ban. A random sample of 100 submissions from individual Canadians reviewed by the National Post found 70 per cent were anti-Fox or in favour of banning the channel.

“Fox is a propaganda outlet which undermines the democratic ideals of Canada,” one comment said. “This is not censorship, this is shielding intellectually vulnerable people from brainwashing.” [...]

Reading a selection of the over 7000 responses (interventions) re FOX News was illuminating. The responses I read, against removing the channel from the List of authorized channels, boiled down to variations of "free speech (freedom of expression)", "stop censorship", "blame Trudeau," "Tucker Carlson no longer works for FOX News so it no longer matters", "culture wars", and/or "FOX News is the only right-wing voice in Canada."

Not one of the responses I saw against removing FOX News considered the Television Broadcasting Regulations which govern what can be broadcast on Canadian airwaves, and which CRTC has stated that non-Canadian services must meet in order to be distributed in Canada.

In comparison, many of the responses in support of removing FOX News, including Egale Canada's original submission to CRTC, did review the Television Broadcasting Regulations and addressed how FOX News may have contravened them in this case:

5 (1) A licensee shall not broadcast

(a) anything in contravention of the law;

(b) any abusive comment or abusive pictorial representation that, when taken in context, tends to or is likely to expose an individual or a group or class of individuals to hatred or contempt on the basis of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age or mental or physical disability;

(c) any obscene or profane language or pictorial representation; or

(d) any false or misleading news.

When the CRTC removed Russia Today in 2022 for spreading misinformation, it pointed out in its decision that non-Canadian services do not have a right to be distributed in Canada. They can be removed from the Distribution List if found to no longer be in the public interest; being found in violation of Canadian regulations was cause for removal.

Submissions closed June 2. Now we wait for the decision.
