OK, I'll bite.
A great example of sensationalism. You can pick obscure US laws and verdicts to slant information as well. It is not the norm. Canadians have free speech as well, don't worry.
Once again notice the careful wording "certain contact crimes" are 1.5 percent higher. Wow. Meanwhile every other crime is exponentially higher in the States.
This goes for a majority of Canadian broadcasting, not just radio. Canadians are proud of their culture and the government wants to make sure that is not lost, especially in todays world. The way you do this is regulation. What is the problem?
