    Canada Condemns 'Racist' Conan O'Brien TV Show

    By David Ljunggren

    OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's government on Friday condemned a show by U.S. late-night television host Conan O'Brien that insulted people in French-speaking Quebec and seemed to suggest everyone in the province was homosexual.

    Ottawa and the province of Ontario paid $760,000 to help O'Brien -- who appears on the NBC television network -- bring his show to Toronto for a week to boost the city's profile after a deadly SARS outbreak last year.

    But the federal government said O'Brien had gone far too far with the show broadcast on Thursday in which he went to Quebec, a province which has had separatist governments for much of the last 20 years and is a delicate political topic in Canada.

                          I hate the goddam PC police...

                          everyone at my school got their panties up in a bunch and called for the writer of an article to be fired because of this. He wrote that a player on our basketball team (Loul Deng. 6'7", 7'1" wingspan, freshman) had orangatang (sp) like arms. Too many people got pissed and thought it was racial...

                          damn sensative, pc-police ignorant people who just awnt to *****...

                                  OMG Canadians need to stop being whiney hippies and start getting some dark humor. Seriously Triumph makes fun of everything from Eminem to Star Wars geeks. Oh Canada, neighbor to the North...get a life

                                                  Seriously, if you believe EVERYTHING you read online or on TV concerning another nation and thier opinions(when clearly not expressed by the general public) you need to wake up from your ignorant slumber. Thats it... thank you and good night.

                                                      Well maybe you Canadians should elect more non PC officials. That way you won't be taken as complete wusses.
