Al Jazeera approved for Canadian TV

Al Jazeera, sometimes refered to as the "Arab CNN", has been approved for broadcast in Canada. The Canadian Jewish Congress is rightly concerned that some of the anti-semitic utterances in past broadcasts may resurface on our airwaves, but I still think letting them broadcast here is warranted.
 
For starters, Canada has a fairly large Arab population. Here in Ottawa, there are over 60,000 people of Arab descent (roughly evenly split between Christian and Muslim.) I am sure they will appreciate getting some programming in their own language other than community access.
 
A similar bid to bring an Italian news station to Canada did not succeed, unfortunately. Canada has a large Italian community, and the decision is sure to seem strange to them in light of the Al Jazeera approval.
 
Anyway, if the CRTC is worried about anti-semitic content, they can send over Don Cherry's seven second delay supervisors to pick up some extra hours.
