Psychiatrist Pierre Mailloux, host of the Doc Mailloux phone-in show on Montreal's CKAC-AM station, had referred to Sikhs as a "gang of bozos".
The station has been ordered to make a full apology.
In the show, which was broadcast in December 2003, Mailloux said immigrants to Canada should abandon their traditions.
"You cultural communities come from a wacko country. You live a wacko culture. Don't bring it with you. That's the message to convey," he said.
