    APPENDIX B CBSC Decision 11/12-1881 & -1942 CFRB-AM re comments made on The City with Mayor Rob Ford The Complaints The CBSC received a total of 64 complaints about this broadcast. Of those, 36 were provided with the opportunity to request a ruling (the remaining 28 either did not provide enough information to order copies of the broadcast or the complainants clearly had not actually heard the broadcast themselves). Of the 36 complainants who were given the opportunity to request a ruling, only 2 did so. Their complaints are reproduced here: File 11/12-1881 The CBSC received the following complaint on May 7, 2012: I am writing to complain about blatantly offensive language and comments used during Sunday, May 6th’s broadcast of The City with Mayor Rob Ford on CFRB 1010 of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, airing between 1PM and 3PM Eastern Standard Time. During this broadcast, Mayor Ford and his guests made several remarks that were quite offensive: - When referring to Daniel Dale, a Toronto Star reporter that Ford had recently had a run-in with, they said, “I’ve been told the Star purposely assigned their most effeminate reporter". - When referring to former mayoral front-runner George Smitherman, Menzies (the guest on the show), made a disgusting comment about his sexual orientation and linked this to HIV/AIDS: “Could you imagine if I was at that all-candidates meeting and I went to George Smitherman and I said, ‘You know what, George, being a practicing homosexual and the fact that you’ve been involved with all kinds of illicit drug use, how do we know you won’t engage in high-risk sex and drug use that will bring about HIV-leading-to-AIDS and you’ll die in office?’ I would be run out of town on a rail!” This type of behaviour is contrary to section VI, subsections 2, 3 and 4 of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters’ Equitable Portrayal Code, of which CFRB 1010 is bound to uphold as a member of the CBSC.

  • The New Regent Park What Will Happen When Regent Park Gets Revitalized?
    Catch da Flava January 2005 www.catchdaflava.com Volume 10 Issue 1 Youth and Student Newspaper Produced by the Regent Park Focus From Rags to Riches: The New Regent Park What will happen when Regent Park gets revitalized? The Regent Park revitalization is an incredibly complex issue. We’ve been to the meetings, we’ve read the plans, and the following article reflects da Catch da Flava’s understanding of what is going to happen. n 1949, Canada's largest community housing project was undertaken in Toronto. Developers Ienvisioned Regent Park as an open grassy set- ting with wide parks bounded by buildings that would provide a pretty and affordable place for low-income families to live. Unfortunately, reality didn't quite mea- sure up to the dream. Even though Regent Park did indeed become a cosier community, there were several unforeseen consequences. In addition to giving families an idyllic place to spend their time, the buildings and parks isolated community mem- bers from the surrounding neighbourhoods and prevented the growth and development of busi- nesses, shops and other services commonly found in a healthy vibrant community. Furthermore, lack of stable and ongoing government investment transformed the once-thought innovative housing complex into a host of neglected and poorly main- tained buildings that have deteriorated beyond worthwhile repair. These are just a few of the rea- sons why in June 2003, the Toronto City Council voted 35 against 1 for the redevelopment of the The TCHC is planning to start rebuilding Regent Park later this year. Many residents Regent Park area.

  • Inside Queen's Park
    INSIDE QUEEN’S PARK Vol. 27, No. 01 GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL ANALYSIS January 8, 2014 “THE GOVERNMENT DOESN’T DO THAT SORT OF THING” Graham Murray When Queen’s Park began to figure out how best to deliver help to the neediest citizens affected by the pre- Christmas ice storm and power cuts, they quickly targeted the grocery industry to join in rescuing those who’d dumped the contents of their fridges and freezers. But while lists of social welfare recipients and food vouchers were readied for distribution, Premier Wynne herself went door-to-door delivering baskets of foodstuffs. The premier’s brain-trust must have been pleased at the tone and scale of TV coverage – though to this writer, the clips conveyed an unpalatably condescending impression of charity being doled out by Lady Bountiful. Not the most fitting match for the Kathleen Wynne image, we should have thought. Yet a very much worse government communications blunder was on the way when the supply of promised food vouchers quickly ran out, creating unedifying queues in freezing weather and the sort of rough and tumble that arises when you mix several parts of privation with a couple of parts of greed. So it was within just one news cycle that the media started to stint on the credit initially given Wynne, discount the benefits of the scheme and report it as a PR nightmare. The premier was forced personally to defend the handout scheme and its deficiencies, acknowledging that it fell short of perfect. That the voucher scheme would become a debacle should have come as no surprise, because in fact the Liberals went out of their way to highlight the resistance from the public service, apparently divulging to reporters that the civil servants had advised that the government “doesn’t do that sort of thing”.
