The activities on CBN described in the article by machaids!brf sound very close
to hate literature ("designed to incite hatred against any identifiable group")
which, if expressed in print and possibly on the air, is illegal under the
Canadian Criminal Code.  The 700 Club is carried on a Toronto station, though I
have never seen it; if they are carrying the US version, they may well have
broken the law.
  Anyone seen the shows and know the criminal code so that they can say for
sure?
