‘Trash Radio’ – Even In Lovely Old Quebec City, Shock Jockery Gins Up Outrage And Ratings

“Jeff Fillion, 50, is among the most prominent and provocative talk radio hosts on Quebec airwaves, dominating what his critics call ‘radio poubelle,’ or trash radio. … At a time when Mr. Trump’s tirades on Twitter and beyond are changing global political discourse, Mr. Fillion and his fellow shock jocks are drawing legions of listeners in this picturesque political capital, propagating a cocktail of anti-immigrant, anti-environment and anti-feminist views. They are also testing the boundaries of free speech in a country that prides itself on liberalism but has seen a growing far right.”
