  • Canadian Broadcast Standards Council Quebec Regional Panel
    CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL QUEBEC REGIONAL PANEL TQS re Le Grand Journal (Michel Villeneuve Commentary) (CBSC Decision 03/04-1949) Decided February 10, 2005 G. Bachand (Chair), T. Rajan (Vice-Chair), B. Kemeny, R. Cohen (ad hoc), G. Moisan, M.-A. Murat THE FACTS On July 20, 2004, during its broadcast (at 10:30 pm) of the news program Le Grand Journal, Télévision Quatre Saisons (TQS) sports commentator Michel Villeneuve discussed recent reaction to the choice of Quebec judo athlete Nicholas Gill as Canada’s flag-bearer at the upcoming Olympic Games in Athens. At that time, Villeneuve referred to the words of Toronto Sun columnist Steve Simmons, who had objected to the choice of Mr. Gill, arguing that the athlete’s preference for Quebec sovereignty in the 1995 Quebec referendum rendered him unqualified to carry the Canadian flag. Villeneuve commented that, “[translation] for Simmons, a redneck in the same league as Don Cherry, a separatist doesn’t have the right to carry the Canadian flag.” That same evening, a TQS viewer sent an e-mail to the CRTC, which forwarded it to the CBSC in due course. In his e-mail, the viewer expressed the following concern with the evening’s Grand Journal broadcast (the full text of the complaint and all other correspondence, in the original French, appears in the Appendix): [Translation] The sports commentator made racist and biased comments while discussing, among other things, a Toronto Sun journalist, calling the latter a “redneck” and ending his comments with the following words (and I quote): “that’s a kick in the teeth, isn’t it? Considering the precedent that you established with radio station CHOI-FM, I ask that you order that this station simply be shut down.

Your passion and your commitment ensure that your qualification for the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be even more deserved, especially since you will have the privilege of living this magnificent experience in the country where our sport was born.
