I request to appear at the public hearing.

The greatness of a democracy is reflected in the quality of the free press.

Both Canada and the USA are under assault by bias mainstream news reporting and one sided opinion shows. Journalism is dying an ugly death in North America.

Sun News is a refreshing and legitimate organization that has reset the journalistic standards of long ago and is the only media outlet that reports objectively on events; it reports on issues the other news organizations elect to ignore.

Sun News understands the difference between reporting and opinion shows. They do both with professionalism and passion. They do not blend the two.

The acceptance of Sun News’ application for mandatory carriage is very important to our democracy.

The CRTC has a duty to accept the application of this genuine “Canadian” News Organization.
