Just a little thing Fox News happens to be allergic to :P

“the CRTC last month scrapped a proposal to revoke or relax a rule on “prohibited programming content” that includes “broadcasting false or misleading news.” The CRTC withdrew the plan when a legislative committee determined that the rule does not run afoul of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which like the U.S. Constitution, guarantees press freedoms.”

That’s a neat rule when you’re dealing with nice Canadians, but it’s basically a totalitarian’s wet dream.
