CRTC Considers Banning Fox News in Canada

[Mega Hertz]

I don't know about this pastor's "Biblical beliefs", but mine begin and end with "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself", Leviticus 19:18. I'm certainly not being fined by anyone.

Pastor Stephen Boissoin had written a letter to the editor of the Red Deer Advocate in 2002, expressing his Biblical beliefs about the homosexual lifestyle. After reading the letter as published in the Advocate, Dr. Darren Lund, a professor at the University of Calgary, filed a complaint with the Alberta Human Rights Commission, accusing Boissoin of violating Canada’s hate crimes law, which prohibits “hate propaganda.”

In May 2008, the Commission ruled against the pastor, and ordered him to cease and desist from further expressing any views regarding the homosexual lifestyle. He was also ordered to pay Dr. Lund the sum of $5,000, and to compose a written apology to the professor, although Lund was not the subject of Boissoin’s writings, nor did the two know each other.

So, how has this anything to do with CRTC?

That, and the decision was in relation to provincial law (emphasis in the original comments mine), not federal (though Canada has regulations against hate speech).
