Canada on Wednesday banned TV service providers in the country from distributing Russian state-owned television channels RT and RT France, saying the programming was not consistent with Canadian standards.
"The CRTC is also concerned with programming from a foreign country that seeks to undermine the sovereignty of another country, demean Canadians of a particular ethnic background and undermine democratic institutions within Canada," the Canadian Radio‑television and Telecommunications Commission said in a statement.
Major Canadian cable operators had already dropped RT from their channel line-up shortly after Russia's invasion of Ukraine
