Canadian regulators announced last week that they would reject Canada's right wing Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, to repeal a law that forbids lying on broadcast news. Canada's Radio Act requires that, "a licenser may not broadcast...any false, misleading news." When Stephen Harper went to abolish the anti-lying provision of the Radio Act, Canadians rose up against him fearing that the news there are used to getting would be replaced by biased, dishonest, and toxic news coverage familiar to American citizens who listen to Fox News and talk radio. Harper's proposal was to launch "Sun Tv News" which Canadians call "Fox News North."Harper is known to be a wizard of the tools of false patriotism, bigotry, fear, selfishness, and belligerent religiosity.
