Well, a Christian organization that I have had no reason to mistrust (I 
can just /hear/ the obvious retort to /that/) has alerted me that the 
CRTC is trying to change that. So, if I put up a website called 
truthasrevealedinthebible.com I also have to include pages in there (or 
links or whatever) of completely opposing views. The commercial 
equivalent of this would be if coca-cola.com had to host pages and links 
to pepsi.com. I fear this thread will get ugly pretty quickly now (not 
my intention), so I'll withdraw until I've contacted the CRTC myself. 
Though, I'm sure someone will invoke a certain dead despot before this 
thread gets really out of hand.
