Stanbury (Vice-Chair), R. Cohen (ad hoc), P. Fockler and M. Hogarth THE FACTS On November 12, 1998, one of the topics discussed on CFRA-AM’s (Ottawa) Lowell Green Show, which is reprised the next day without editing in a videotaped format on CHRO-TV, was the controversial sentencing decision in the Lilian Getkate case. Getkate had shot her husband in the back while he was sleeping but pleaded self-defence based on the fact that she had suffered through years of abuse and lived in fear that he would kill her. She was sentenced to two years less a day of house arrest. Host Lowell Green was very critical in his comments on this sentencing decision. He alleged that there were no police records, hospital files or other form of corroboration even by friends or family to support the wife’s accusation of abuse. Sarcastically, he congratulated women for having been granted the leisure of killing men at will without fear of any harsh sentencing. His commentary on the case included the following monologue (with brief intervention from a caller): Here’s my advice for this wonderful Thursday morning. First of all, you take out a huge insurance policy on your husband, then, as he lay sleeping, you plug him full of brain holes. Then, when they come to arrest you, you tell everyone what a beast the guy was and presto, you’ve got yourself one rich widow.

  • Honour and Care
    Honourand Care Spring 2018 A Blessed Life By Peter McKinnon everal birthday cards adorn Edith Goodspeed’s room at the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre, marking her recent birthday. “This was Snumber 99,” she says with a smile, “for all my future birthdays, I won’t count any higher…I’ll just stay 99.” Edith has certainly earned the right to lie about her age. As a Nursing Sister in England during the Second World War, she experienced the horrors of Nazi bombing and helped countless soldiers recover enough to return home or back into battle. She later raised three children and today is blessed with seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Born in 1919 as the second child of a farm family in Rosetown, Saskatchewan, Edith Mary Ferrall was named after her aunt. Edith’s father died before she was three; her mother sold the farm and raised Edith and her brother Arthur in Cypress River, Manitoba. “My parents both worked hard and did a lot for the community,” she recalls.

    CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL ONTARIO REGIONAL COUNCIL CFRA-AM re the Mark Sutcliffe and Lowell Green Shows (CBSC Decisions 9697-0083, 0084 and 0085) Decided May 7, 1997 A. MacKay (Chair), R. Stanbury (Vice-Chair), R. Cohen (ad hoc), P. Fockler, M. Hogarth, M. Ziniak THE FACTS On January 1, 1997, the Ottawa police shot Mr. Francis Nicholls, a member of the black community, in his Ottawa apartment. On the following morning, Mark Sutcliffe, sitting in for the regular early morning (6:00-9:00 a.m.) host, Steve Madely, on CFRA-AM (Ottawa), dealt with issues relating to the shooting; he continued on the subject on the early morning show of January 3. Lowell Green, the host of the mid-morning (9:00 a.m.-12 noon) show, did not raise the subject on his show of January 2 but did deal with it at length on the show of January 3. Since the complainant raised issues of a substantially similar nature regarding the three shows of hosts Sutcliffe and Green which dealt with the shooting, the CBSC considers it appropriate to address the complaints in a single decision. There are so many excerpts from the various shows which bear some relevance to the issues raised in the complainant’s letter that the Council believes that the most useful way of presenting these is in Appendices to this decision, with only brief excerpts in the body of the decision. To do otherwise would result in an otherwise unavoidably confused presentation of the facts. That being said, the Council is of the view that having the lengthier excerpts available to those who wish to review this matter in detail will at least permit them to have all of the relevant material at hand.

  • Sun News Network Re Canada Live (Margie Gillis Interview)
    CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL NATIONAL SPECIALTY SERVICES PANEL Sun News Network re Canada Live (Margie Gillis interview) (CBSC Decision 10/11-1803+) Decided December 15, 2011 R. Cohen (Chair), M. Bulgutch (ad hoc), S. Crawford (ad hoc), D. Dobbie (ad hoc), D.-Y. Leu, D. Ward THE FACTS Sun News Network broadcasts a public affairs program called Canada Live hosted by Krista Erickson. The program consists of discussions and debates on political issues and current events. In one segment of the June 1, 2011 broadcast, Erickson interviewed Canadian interpretive dancer Margie Gillis about public funding to the arts (the full transcript of the interview is available in Appendix A). Erickson introduced the segment by saying “Friends, buckle up and get ready for some great TV.” She then introduced Gillis by listing some of the dancer’s accomplishments and calling her a “national treasure” and an “iconic interpretive dancer”. Sun News then displayed on the screen the dollar amounts of various government-administered grants that Gillis and her dance foundation had received since 1998. Erickson challenged Gillis on why she and her dance foundation should receive taxpayers’ money. Gillis argued that she and her foundation do research on creative issues that “have value for the soul” and the community. Gillis mentioned some of her national and international accomplishments. She also suggested that the numbers Erickson was presenting were possibly skewed and that the amounts had actually been distributed over a longer time frame. Gillis pointed out that the arts need government funding because they are often not profitable on their own and she argued that artists are good at making a small amount of money go a long way.

  • CFRA-AM Re the Lowell Green Show (“Somalia Commission Report”)
    1 CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL ONTARIO REGIONAL COUNCIL CFRA-AM re The Lowell Green Show (“Somalia Commission Report”) (CBSC Decision 96/97-0238) Decided February 20, 1998 A. MacKay (Chair), R. Stanbury (Vice-Chair), T. Gupta, P. Fockler, M. Hogarth and M. Ziniak THE FACTS On the morning of July 3, 1997, between 8:15 and 9:00 a.m., The Lowell Green Show, an open-line show broadcast daily on CFRA-AM (Ottawa), dealt with the controversy surrounding the findings of the Commission which had been inquiring into events surrounding the killing of two Somali teenagers by Canadian military personnel on a peacekeeping mission in Somalia. In what may have appeared to frequent listeners of The Lowell Green Show to be a tongue-in-cheek approach to the issue, Mr. Green stated the following: I don’t understand what all the fuss is about. Headlines everywhere about the Somalia Inquiry Commission. The Commission should have been shut down a long time ago. Look, Art Eggleton is right. The government is right for a change. I mean after all, let’s face it, it was only a couple of Somalis. What’s all the fuss about? I mean we’re talking about a couple of Somalis here, for God’s sake. Okay? Come on, come on, come on. All this fuss, all this expense, over a couple of Somalis. And as for this crazy business about a cover-up. Let’s get real, okay. Just for a change, let’s get real. What do we civilians know about the stresses and strains of high command? Look, this thing is a military matter, better left to the military to resolve.

  • More Than Just Terrorists?: Constructions of Canadian
    MORE THAN JUST TERRORISTS?: CONSTRUCTIONS OF CANADIAN MUSLIM IDENTITIES IN THE CANADIAN DAILY PRESS A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Guelph by MEGAN NICHOLSON In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September, 2011 © Megan Nicholson, 2011 ABSTRACT MORE THAN JUST TERRORISTS?: CONSTRUCTIONS OF CANADIAN MUSLIM IDENTITIES IN THE CANADIAN DAILY PRESS Megan Nicholson Advisor: University of Guelph, 2011 Professor Emerita Linda A. Wood Discursive psychology was used to analyze constructions of Canadian Muslim identities in the Canadian mainstream daily press. News and opinion discourse from a six-month period (November 1, 2008 - April 30, 2009) was examined. Whereas previous research has typically focused on negative news coverage, I examined the full range of identity portrayals of Canadian Muslims available in the daily press. Not unexpectedly, the most overtly negative identity constructions of Canadian Muslims were found in coverage of terrorism trials. In that coverage, the accused were typically worked up as endorsing an extreme interpretation of Islam. These extreme descriptions of the accused may suggest a particularized and therefore non-representative Muslim identity. Negative identity was also constructed in articles that reported on Canadian Muslims’ interactions with the legal and immigration systems: the behaviours of some Canadian Muslims (e.g., polygamy) were formulated as a threat to mainstream Canadian social values. The coverage also dealt with the issue of discrimination against Canadian Muslims. The case for discrimination was accomplished via comparison (e.g., government treatment of Muslim versus non-Muslim Canadians). However, in some coverage, Canadian Muslims were indirectly and subtly portrayed as possibly deserving of discriminatory treatment.

  • CFRA-AM Re an Episode of the Lowell Green Show (The Qur’An)
    CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL ONTARIO REGIONAL PANEL CFRA-AM re an episode of the Lowell Green Show (the Qur’an) (CBSC Decision 05/06-1380) Decided May 18, 2006 R. Stanbury (Chair), M. Ziniak (Vice-Chair), D. Braun (ad hoc), R. Deverell (ad hoc), H. Hassan, J. Pungente THE FACTS The Lowell Green Show is an open-line radio program on which the host and callers discuss current events and news stories on CFRA-AM (Ottawa) from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon each weekday. The March 31, 2006 episode was “Friday Open House”, to which listeners were invited to contribute by discussing any topic they wished. Host Lowell Green did, however, offer four possible topics for discussion: gas price collusion; the media attention given to Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s vest on his trip to Mexico; policing and gang violence; and a news report about a Muslim terrorist being arrested in Canada. Lowell Green introduced that final topic with the following information (a much fuller transcript of the program can be found in Appendix A): Oh boy. Looks like we’ve caught another terrorist hiding out in Canada. Just listen to this. And you can start asking yourself a few questions. Forty-year old Raja Mustafa was arrested in Newmarket a couple of weeks ago. We’re only learning about it this morning. Police say he has direct links to Osama bin Laden. He was trained in an Afghan terrorist camp. In fact, he apparently is a captain in Osama’s army. When caught, he had a large amount of cash, appeared to be about ready to leave the country.

    −1− CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL ONTARIO REGIONAL COUNCIL CFRA-AM re The Lowell Green Show (“New World Order”) (CBSC Decision 95/96-0012) Decided April 30, 1996 A. MacKay (Chair), R. Stanbury (Vice-Chair), R. Cohen (ad hoc), P. Fockler, M. Hogarth, M. Ziniak THE FACTS This complaint concerns statements made about Mr. Glen Kealey, a well-known political activist in the Ottawa area, on The Lowell Green Show on CFRA-AM (Ottawa). According to the complaint, on September 12, 1995, Mr. Green spoke of Kealey’s belief in the existence of an international conspiracy to create a “New World Order” and his potential connection to the stand-off by a group of natives at Gustafsen Lake, B.C. This led Kealey to send a fax to Green demanding to be allowed on air to rebut Green’s statements. Mr. Green reported on this fax in the following way: I’m in trouble. Glen Kealey is after me. Got a fax this morning. Here is what it says: Urgent Memorandum from Glen E.P. Kealey, President and Co-Chair, Canadian Institute for Political Integrity, yeah, “Dear Lowell, when you are ready to have me on as a guest, rather than propagandizing for the elitist side on your own, I will be happy to oblige. Arrange it. P.S. Contrary to your on air statements, I am in Ottawa, awaiting your invitation.” Well, for those of you who are not aware, Kealey is the man who stood outside the Peace Tower for a couple of years protesting against Brian Mullooney [sic], um, I got it right the first time, you know who I mean.
