CRTC wrong about N-word

The CRTC gave Radio-Canada a dressing-down a year ago about using the N‑word in a discussion involving the Concordia teacher who faced censure over mentioning a book by Pierre Vallières. In the course of the radio discussion the N‑word was used three times in French and once in English. Now the Federal Court of Appeal says the CRTC overstepped its jurisdiction because it’s not meant to regulate speech on the airwaves. Now the case is back to the CRTC for another review.

I would not want to be the CRTC person who has to find a politic way to say that it’s fine if you say that word on air.
