Dangerous Vocabulary: Radio-Canada’s Power Flow

Radio-Canada’s “left” or, rather, neo-progressive bias is not new.

There are quality hosts and journalists, unwatchable programs and the occasional unexpected guest, but something like the Canadian radio ideology dominates, the core of which is definitely militant multiculturalism.

But now I believe we have reached a milestone with the new standards put forward to regulate what we call offensive language, destiny We learned of the existence yesterday.

It should also be said that this call for censorship had as its background a kind of progressive Puritanism and an increasingly open conflict between English Canada and the morality hypnotized by French Quebec. Expression.

Here is a form of neocolonialism in which the federal state, through its various organs, dominates the Anglo-Saxon world today and seeks to impose upon us the ideological neuroses inseparable from heteronormative ideology.
