I was reading that the Punjabi stations in Vancouver BC has asked the CRTC to
shut down the U.S. based Punjabi stations broadcasting from the WA into Canada.
I presume they mean 1110 Oak Harbor, 1550 Ferndale and 1600 Blaine WA. How can
the CRTC stop a legally licensed U.S. broadcaster from the signal reaching
Canada? Now, I figure they may be able to stop the stations from getting
Canadian advertising, but I do not know the laws in Canada in that regard. I
remember well the Mexican border blasters sending tons of signal into the U.S.
No one stopped those stations. Some are still in English and broadcast to the
U.S. CJRJ 1200 is calling the U.S. stations pirates, even though they are
legally licensed stations on U.S. soil. Can the CRTC do anything? I do not see
anything they can do, unless they have some control on the advertising from
Vancouver. Any comments?

The CRTC could have an equivalent of the Brinkley Rule (where the FCC
forbade US studios from feeding Mexican transmitters - though waivers
are not too hard to get for it - they just wanted to prevent crooks like
Dr. John R "Goat Gland" Brinkley from exploiting legal loopholes for his
sham treatments (and increasing Nazi sympathies). I've no clue if this
is the case, though.
