I don't see the problem , their are plenty of songs banned in the USA aswell, I saw it in a program a few weeks ago, a middle aged (I think from Virginia) complained that he could not sing a song from his ancestors with the text ' And when our niggers working on the field' while at the same time the youth is riding with their cars playing loud music with songs that  use the words 'Nigger 10-20 times'..

And if I am not mistaken Green Day's American idiot was also banned/censored because it used the word Faggot.. in the USA..

Private companies choosing not to play something or censoring specific words of their own volition is not the same thing as a national broadcast ban.

the cbsc is a group of private broadcasters

Ah, I didn't know that.

For shame.
