Personally, I'd call it hedonism!

You're painting with too broad a brush: the Canadian Broadcasting Standards self-regulation is far more effective than what's going on in the U.S. right now - witness the Howard Stern debacle and other efforts of the political right moving through legislative channels to censor broadcasters. The CRTC has historically shown tremendous restraint and allowed the self-regulating body to negotiate conformity to the standards. The CHOI case in Montreal is quite exceptional and we'll have to wait and see what comes out of that. The intransigence of the station led to the lifting of the licence (that's not to say the CRTC wasn't too heavy-handed in its ultimate response).
I've been sharing pirates for ages.
Glad it's finally gotten some attention.

First of all the CHOI case is in Quebec City and a decision has been already been made. Their license will not be renewed and will have to go of the air.
In my option the CRTC is to “heavy-handed” in its ultimate decision.
When the radio station first aired in 1998 it was the least listened radio station in the market. It is now the top radio station there.
IMHO I believe the station should stay on the air, not because his show is race, but because he has dared to express ideas no one else would have said.
- He critics that the Quebec public school system does not teach young francophone in English early enough and well enough to make them mobile in North America.
- And also advise young Quebecers to make there fortunes elsewhere. He gives Ralph Klein’s Alberta and Mike Harris’s Ontario as models we should try to emulate in Quebec.
- He has the courage to criticize the poor quality of many Québécois artists and entertainer. Not only the marginal but also mainstream people from major TV and radio networks.
CHOI has made a significant contribution to that region bringing ideas and diversity to a medium that is narrow-minded and conformist. Exactly the goal the CRTC is suppose to protect. This is why it is so ironic to hear the CRTC lecture CHOI for violating “Canadian values”
