ALSO: Canadian PM Harper announces Red Tape Reduction Commission; Indians rush to sue over use of term “Red”; seek ban from airwaves. Not only that, but Sarah Palin was seen (by “some”, as the CBC would report it) wearing red today. Coincidence? I think not.
Meanwhile, left-wing-propelled, minority, well, idiots — continue their sacred mission to control the country and its dialogue, its arts, its culture, its education, its history, its institutions such as marriage and family, and probably food too (wieners! It’s not just a food anymore! Your usage should be adaptive!).
What’s going on here? Progressives. That’s what’s going on here.
This is why Canada is becoming a joke on so many levels.
Dire Straits tune ruled too offensive for Canadian radio
“Money For Nothing,” a classic-rock radio staple by Dire Straits, is too offensive for Canadian broadcasts because of its use of the word “faggot,” the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council has ruled.
The ruling, released Wednesday, responded to a complaint submitted to St. John’s radio station CHOZ-FM over a Feb. 1 airing of an unedited version of the song, which mentions the word three times.
The complainant wrote that the song’s lyrics were “extremely offensive” to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.
The council is an independent body created by Canadian radio and television broadcasters to review the standards of their content.
Co-written in 1985 by Mark Knopfler and Sting, “Money For Nothing” takes the perspective of a working-class man watching music videos, which were still a new medium at the time.

In reviewing punk band NOFX’s “Kill All the White Men,” which aired on a Winnipeg radio station in 2004, the council decided the chorus from which the song takes its name was acceptable political commentary.
Another proud moment for Canadians today:
That same “human rights” “commission” which guards extremely, overly, touchy, baby-like, government-protection-needing, sensitive Canadians (as we are becoming known around the world), and especially hyphenated Canadians, has ruled that a prisoner who shot a cop and father of two, and killed him, should get some cash because the prison guards made his sore back even more sore.
Cop-killer gets $9,500 for being forced to stand
The man who shot and killed Ottawa police officer Const. David Utman in Bayshore Shopping Centre in 1983 has been awarded $9,500 in compensation by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal.
