Ever see corporate lawyers circling their prey in their natural habitat? Then feast your eyes CBC legal going after hockeyfightincanada.com for copyright violations, ordering a cease and desist and an immediate handover of the website under threat of legal action.

Danielle Charbonneau thanks her music stakeholders
March 29, 2007 – 5:40 pm
This was an email sent to a listener, in response to his concern over the cancellation of Music for a While on Radio 2. It was ostensibly written by Danielle Charbonneau herself, but more obviously written by some English Communications Drone with a big glass of Kool-Aid on his desk.The results, my friends, are not […]
Silent by design
March 29, 2007 – 7:52 am
A few things bothered me about that design dept video I posted Sunday. The secrecy seemed unnecessary. And why did they wait so long to make it? It was more than 1 year ago that CBC management decided to close down the department, and since then they have been working with the CMG on other […]

One minute public and private broadcasters were smoking and wheezing in harmony on the 10th floor, the next minute Global is pulling back the curtain […]

March 21, 2007 – 6:55 am
They said I broke my back.They said that I was smoked out. That I was found out. That I was burnt out. That the committee that writes this blog had “creative differences” and squabbled itself into oblivion. They said that I ran out of things to say. And in the meantime Stursberg got his hit, […]
Saskboy: CBC tells me I’m smart
March 20, 2007 – 6:33 am
Sent to me by Saskboy.Enjoy.~O Being left with some unintended spare time on Monday, I came across someone who had taken the CBC Test the Nation IQ contest. Being the average sort of person who enjoys seeing just how well I can beat a test, I ventured inside. There was a list of survey questions […]
