Québec has announced that it will no longer invest in advertising on CHOI Radio X
In a statement released Monday, the city denounced the behavior of the owners of the radio station, which « constitutes a danger to public health and the well-being of the citizens of Quebec »
Officials say CHOI is encouraging dissent over health measures put in place to counter the spread of COVID-19
« By their choice to promote opposition to health measures, the owners of this radio endanger the health and potentially the lives of citizens of Quebec and elsewhere, » said David O’Brien, director of city communications
« Under the guise of the idea of freedom of opinion, this organization promotes ideas that oppose health measures »
O’Brien said the current situation is so critical in Quebec City that the city has reactivated its crisis management unit, which had been on the lookout since July
« The City of Quebec can absolutely not endorse, through its advertising and its financial participation, the behavior of the owners of CHOI This behavior is likely to increase the current level of contamination which has a major impact on public health and on the local economy «
