André Arthur

[3] Known for controversial comments, Arthur was fired in 2018 after referring to a road in the LGBT district of Quebec City as "AIDS Boulevard".

He has also appeared on CJRP, CKAC, CKVL, CJMF-FM, CJMS, CHOI-FM and, most recently (until December 22, 2005), at CKNU-FM and CIMI-FM, all French-language stations.

[citation needed] His most recent gig, as morning and noon host for CKNU in Donnacona, Quebec, ended on December 22, 2005, soon after Genex Communications announced it was selling the station to RNC Media, which declined to renew his contract.

According to the summary of facts presented in the Superior Court, Arthur denounced "their incompetence and filthiness, while suggesting they get their licenses by corruption and are somehow responsible for the deplorable state of this mode of transport in the city.

In January 2018, he was fired from BLVD 102.1 FM for referring to a road in the LGBT district of Quebec City as "AIDS Boulevard".

[8] In December 2009, cable channel Séries+ announced it would broadcast in the winter of 2011 a four-part miniseries on Raymond Malenfant, produced by Ricardo Trogi.

Nonetheless, Arthur considered George W. Bush (as well as Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper) to be very consistent, a quality that he admired.

According to a number of Parti Québécois analysts, Arthur's influence was a significant cause of the lower-than-expected "Yes" vote in the Quebec City area in the 1995 referendum.

[citation needed] In winning the riding, Arthur became the first truly independent and non-incumbent candidate to be elected to the House of Commons since Tony Roman won an Ontario district in 1984.

On January 25, 2006, in an interview with Anna Maria Tremonti, host of CBC Radio One's morning news program The Current, Arthur stated that he would not join any political party during the then-current parliament, but he did note that the policies of the governing Conservative Party of Canada best reflected his personal political beliefs and stances on many major issues.

[12] On November 30, 2006, Arthur announced in a press conference that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and would be receiving treatment at Quebec City's Hotel-Dieu hospital in the coming weeks.

In 2011, Globe and Mail noted in an interview that aired on CHOI-FM in Quebec City on Aug. 23, 2007, shortly after a Tory cabinet shuffle, directed some of his well-known on-air venom toward Stephen Harper's new team.

He claimed that his position as an independent MP freed him from the obligation to attend caucuses and partisan social events, going as far as suggesting all MPs should get a second job to put them in touch with ordinary people.
