Look at this article

We learned Monday that the host, starring André Arthur was losing his microphone BLVD 102,1, a station in Quebec city. The news came less than a week after the radio man was the light of the remarks that were deemed homophobic on air.

The old road is obviously not his first controversy on the long winding path of his radio career in the region of the Capitale-Nationale region.

Here are 11 times when the entertainer has shocked more than one:

1. The “Boulevard of AIDS”

Let’s start with the remarks that were deemed homophobic, which have earned Dr. Arthur his most recent termination of employment. The facilitator elicited the ire of many last week, when it was renamed the rue Saint-Jean boulevard and AIDS”.

Many of the spokespersons of the LGBT community of Quebec reacted strongly.

We know now the following.

2. To death the cyclist

And then, of course, there was this time where the 74 year old man has suggested to hit cyclists.

In an interview with the broadcast 100% Normandeau, in march 2017, André Arthur had prevailed against cyclists, even going so far as to propose to strike those who dare to travel on the roads in winter. “Me, my definition of an idiot is someone who bicycle in winter,” said the one who is currently unemployed.

Barely twenty-hours later, André Arthur had had to apologize on the air, always to issue 100% Normandeau.

3. Cause military

Wanting to take on the minister, Marc Garneau, Mr. Arthur has decided to make generalizations attacking the intelligence of the military. Radio Quebec. You know, the city right next to Valcartier.

Of course, his comments have not liked.

“Marc Garneau is a member of the military. You know what is the smallest measure of distance? It is a millimeter. Do you know what it is smallest unit of volume? A milliliter. And, the smaller measure of intelligence, it is a military.”

4. Angry one island to the full

Commenting on the sale of the “lobster of the Islands” last may in a Cotsco, the facilitator has delivered to his audience what he really thought of the Islands, causing commotion among the fans of the Magdalen Islands (that is to say almost everyone).

Read it here, the response of a Madelinienne which has no language in his pocket.

5. Sacré Charlemagne/cursed crazy

In April 2017, the facilitator is “a little” carried away in talking about forbidden foods in the lunch boxes. It felt good to qualify the teachers of “damned crazy”. At the time, the minister of Education had even taken the trouble to denounce the remarks.

6. After the cursed crazy, cursed madman

In the wake of the terrorist attack, which made six dead in a islamic cultural center of the region of Québec, it is exactly one year, the ex-services secrets canadiens Michel Juneau-Katsuya had said that some of the radio hosts had “blood on their hands”.

André Arthur, who had obviously not appreciated the comment, is then taken to M Juneau-Katsuya, calling it “foolish”. These comments have earned Dr. Arthur a continuation of $ 500,000 for defamation.

7. Insult everyone and his neighbor Normandeau

In June 2017, the issuance of Nathalie Normandeau is yet become the theatre of the flights of Mr. Arthur, as he left the studio in the exchange-muscled where he insulted the prime minister Philippe Couillard, the political class and even the colleague.

For the full story, here it is.

8. Brrrrrrrrrrr

In 2016, André Arthur explained that because it is cold, global warming doesn’t exist.

That is all.

9. Lose the election against a “not clean”

Many will remember that the controversial host has also been independent member of the federal from 2006 to 2011, before being swept by the orange wave.

Two months after his electoral defeat against the NDP candidate, the former independent mp for Portneuf–Jacques-Cartier was said to have been beaten by a “big girl teeth dirty.”

10. Angry in the Kingdom full

In 2015, Andre Arthur was taking to motorists in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, whom he accused of having “always drove drunk” in the Park of the Laurentides, simultaneously placing the entire region on back.

The words “damned fools” have again been pronounced.

11. And in closing, the times where Andrew Arthur has lied to the entire population

In 2016, following another dismissal, the facilitator had stated that it would be the last time he would lose the microphone at the radio. The result of the things we will show that it has not, unfortunately, kept his word.
