<sigh> You have been reading to many liberal blogs and accepting their statements as fact. Fox news is not and has never been "banned" in Canada:
“[November, 2004] The conservative-leaning Fox News Channel will soon be coming to Canadian digital television channels. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved an application Thursday to bring the Fox News Channel, one of the highest-rated news channels in the United States, onto Canadian digital airwaves. The Canadian Cable Telecommunications Association (CCTA) applied to the broadcast regulator in April. Canadians already have access to the main Fox network, but not the right-leaning, 24-hour news channel, with its trademarked slogan of ‘fair and balanced.’ ”
There was a point when Fox News had it’s application denied by the regulatory authority, but not due to any content related issues:
“The CRTC rejected a CCTA application to bring Fox to Canada last November [2003] because Fox News U.S. and Winnipeg-based Global Television were planning to create Fox News Canada, a combination of U.S. and Canadian news. However, in March, a Fox U.S. executive said there were no plans to create the combined channel.”
CRTC approves Fox News for Canada - Canada - CBC News
In Canada, the Fox News Channel is currently available on: Access Communications, Bell TV, Cogeco, Eastlink, Manitoba Telecom Services, Rogers, SaskTel, Shaw Cable, Shaw Direct and Telus TV.
You don’t like the way Fox presents facts. Got it. At the same time,

By the way, to be clear, when I use the word “you” in responding to your posts – I mean you, NC_Skins. Just as I believed that, when you used the term “you” above, you were referring to SS33 and implying he was either incapable of seeing or choosing not to see beyond “the Repub vs Dem bullshit”. Since this is the common use of English and the natural implication of your word and contextual placement, I suggest you clarify in the future if it is your intent to insult the general public when you say “you” rather than the particular poster.
By the way, just for clarification, in the post referenced above, which was the manner you intended: Were implying you’re smarter than everyone else b/c they can’t see beyond the bullshit or just smarter than SS33?
