In Canada your freedom of speech as a broadcaster or entertainer is limited to non-harmful, intentionally ignorant, or violence provoking language. So it’s not censorship here to take someone off the radio for spreading slander and lies that could get someone hurt, like Joe has been on his podcast. It’s considered protecting others safety and our charter of rights.

Stopping someone from spreading ignorance and hate is not censorship. That’s not what one imagines when they think of censorship. This is not stopping someone from saying things arbitrarily.
