Canada’s newest and most controversial news channel is pinning its hopes for survival on a ruling by Canada’s broadcast regulator.
Sun News Network is arguing its signal must be broadcast into every Canadian home if it is ever going to recover from losses that have already reached $17-million a year.
The news network, which is owned by Quebecor Inc. and has made a name for itself by slamming rivals such as the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. for relying on government subsidies, has asked the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to grant it “mandatory carriage,” which means it would be included in every basic cable package across the country.
...which is especially HYPOCRITICAL of them considering in 2010 they said this:

Sun TV News -- vilified by a small but hysterical group of very loud and arguably self-important critics -- will never ask for a single dollar from the pocket of the Canadian taxpayer, and never had the intention or even the wish to do so.
To Sun TV News, it is all about freedom of choice.
If you want it, and are willing to pay the subscription price, we want you to be able to have it.
If not, then no worries.
And just in case you don't tolerate this hypocrisy:
