==Lowell Green CBSC complaints==
A complaint against Lowell Green was launched in 2008 after a provocative show on December 4, 2008 about the Muslim faith. The topic began with Green speaking about a school which had named a [[teddy bear]] [[Sudanese teddy bear blasphemy case|Muhammad]]. Green then led a discussion on whether the Muslim faith was radical and violent. Lowell himself took the view that it was radical and violent at its core. The complaint to the [[Canadian Broadcast Standards Council]] (CBSC) was launched in December 2008. The CBSC responded that no standards had been broken and there was no obligation for Green to be uncritical of the topic at hand.<ref name="cbsc.ca">{{cite web|url=http://www.cbsc.ca/english/decisions/2009/090206a.php|title=CBSC Decision - CFRA-AM re an episode of the Lowell Green Show (Islam)|work=cbsc.ca|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101121203806/http://www.cbsc.ca/english/decisions/2009/090206a.php|archive-date=2010-11-21}}</ref>

The Ontario Regional Panel of the CBSC reviewed the case again after the complainant reiterated his points and did not accept the original decision. Then CBSC then decided that the December 4th Lowell Green show had violated clause 2 ([[Human Rights]]) and clause 6 (Full, Fair and Proper Presentation) of the CBSC [[code of ethics]].

A previous complaint had been made to the CBSC in 2006 after a May 18 episode in which Green spoke about the Muslim faith and the [[Qur'an]].<ref name="cbsc.ca"/>

Both complaints resulted in CFRA not being obligated to agree with the complainant but to respond to the complainant in a timely and thorough manner. A response was written by the [[news director]] but ultimately, the complainant was not satisfied with the result. The complaint was then sent to the adjudicating panel of the CBSC but no further action was required.<ref name="cbsc.ca"/>
