Most of us do. I think it says something about Canadians that the song played for 25 years without one single complaint until now.Originally posted by Oerdin View Post"I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

The significant thing here is that this is all about ONE person's complaint.
We seem to have got ourselves into a situation where, in many countries, as long as someone, somewhere, claims to have been offended by something, we have to ban it. The tyranny of this should be obvious.Comment

It says something about Canadians that it was kicked off the air after one complaint. None of it good.Originally posted by Wezil View PostI make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment

It says nothing about Canadians. It says much about the hysterical self-victimisation meme that has infected much of the western world and it's political paradigms.Originally posted by DinoDoc View PostComment

The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council is a non-governmental, independent council.
It's a private sector creation without any teeth. Not sure why this is news or why anyone thinks this is worth being worried about. Bunch of busybodies being busy."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Yeah. They are actually encouraging a second complaint (one station is providing details on how to do it) in the belief the public outrage will cause a rethink of the decision by CBSC. They are probably right."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow
