This is not Gendron's first outrageous comment, and who is he to deserve to be heard, what is his contribution to making this world a better place to live in? My question is who really doesn’t deserve to exist. This is not Gendron’s first outrageous comment, and who is he to deserve to be heard, what is his contribution to making this world a better place to live in?

We met today with the senior management of V. We had a very positive and constructive discussion with V and they clearly understand that red lines were crossed by Gendron. They disapprove of his comments on Israel's legitimacy and our community and will not allow him or anyone else to engage again in unacceptable and discriminatory statements. V was very interested in learning more about our community and we are pleased to have turned Gendron's outrageous comments into an opportunity to establish a relationship of mutual trust and ongoing dialogue with V.

When you have a known person who has a history of spuing hatred and is an agitator(as the article says) then you have a responsibility to the public to find out what the rhetoric in the programing will be based on and then make the descion to go ahead or not to broadcast. Instead,like most programing today TV,RADIO & NEWSPAPERS stand behind the statement"that the comments,views and opinions of the person are theirs and not that of the station ". That in my opinion is a copout and is the responsibilty of the station to ensure that HATRED is not promoted in any shape or form towards anybody as Ouellette said. “V’s viewing public expects and deserves informed opinions by respected commentators, not hate-filled invective from an agitator. It is hard to believe that V will tolerate in 2012 what TQS condemned in 2006. I am a strong believer of freedom of speech but not when it promotes hatred towards any people or community.

First stop the hate mongering which has clearly crossed the line of journalism of any kind, and second look into starting a TV or perhaps other media type "show" which delivers a message of peace and provides opportunity to learn more about our remarkable culture and minds and hearts. To me that is one great "core" of Judaism whether your orthodox or not, we have this ability to agree to disagree, to discuss, even to argue and it's OK... and it stops there. We are reasonable people. Both ideas are worthy in fact.

I would make a different suggestion, we have many able spokes people in the JEWISH community, why don t we ask equal time to present OUR VIEWS ON face a face--SAME RADIO-TV STATION -- of course not with the same preacher of hate but someone who knows history and respectful of human dignity. We are indeed missing an opportunity if we do not`pass on our message of decency, humanity etc. to the quebec population at large and specifically those people who have the time to listen to this unspeakable speaker.
