OTTAWA (Reuters) - The chairman of the publicly funded Canadian Broadcasting Corp. has resigned after remarks about bestiality and ruminations about defecation, Canadian Heritage Minister Bev Oda said on Tuesday.
Guy Fournier created an uproar in Canada's Lebanese community and in the media when he claimed that Lebanon allowed men to have sexual relations with female animals, but reserved the death penalty for those who did so with male animals.
In comments made in May, and replayed in a CBC weekend interview, he talked at length about the joys of bowel movements.
"He has increasingly lost the confidence of Canada's new government," Oda told the House of Commons. "I inform this House that I have received the voluntary resignation of Mr. Fournier effective today."

| Is what he was saying about Lebanon actually true? |

So he had to resign after saying something completely true, and also stating his opinion? Yay for freedom of speech. |

Apparently its not true, and his error was to write about it (in between many things) in his "bizarro world " column in a magazine.
A friend told him about this "law" in Lebanon and he did not check it before writing about it.
That story is unrelated to the CBC/Radio Canada |
