Howard Stern Fans....

There is no Howard in Canada because while we don't care much about incidental swearing on air, there are topics that HS covered in the past when on the air here in Canada that just didn't pass the stink test. Our free speech and your free speech are different, and degrading women is (as an example) not acceptable on radio.

Remember, in Canada, the Osbornes ran on broadcast TV at 10PM at night WITHOUT the bleeper. Our rules are more concerned with bad ideas and degrading comments rather than just the words themselves.
