Jean-Charles Lajoie is really attentive to others, including his listeners, and recently he gave a shining example of this.
Earlier this month, during his show on TVA Sports, Jean-Charles Lajoie used the term 'mongol' in colloquial and colorful language, but a viewer addressed him on social media to make him understand that using this word could be offensive and uncomfortable.
Lajoie responded with the following.
Looking back at what happened this morning, it's important to note that some sites and blogs severely criticized Jean-Charles Lajoie for using the word 'mongol' in previous broadcasts, but they didn't cover what happened today.
During his editorial this morning, around 7:56 am, Jean-Charles Lajoie unfortunately reused that word, but he immediately corrected himself upon realizing his mistake.
Jean-Charles Lajoie immediately thought of the message he received from one of his listeners earlier this month and was mindful of his use of the word 'mongol' during his editorial this morning. This proves that contrary to what some may think, he is attentive to his audience.

Despite this, Jean-Charles Lajoie made a point to apologize immediately and on-air after realizing his mistake. This gesture shows his honesty and responsibility as a public figure.
It's true that some well-known personalities and broadcasters may not be as attentive to their audience's reactions and may not care as much about the words they use. However, in this specific case, Jean-Charles Lajoie showed that he was sensitive to his audience's concerns and took his responsibilities as a public figure seriously.
