CBC Fails To Win A "Teddy"
March 11, 2009 – 11:34 am
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation held their eleventh annual “Teddies Waste Awards Ceremony†recently to recognize excellence in the art of government waste.And despite a strong performance that garnered a nomination …CBC Brass – first class travel and extravagant expenses… the competition proved to be far stronger than those for a Gemini. Better luck next year!
Corpse in trouble with CRTC
March 11, 2009 – 11:16 am
This is about as serious as being in trouble with Tea Makers commenters, and the whole process is so slow it’s like being menaced by a glacier, but CBC has actually been “called to a hearing†with the CRTC. (Have you ever heard of that happening before?) Why? Land and Sea begat Country Canada begat […]

Andy Barrie decided to volunteer an endorsement of Being Erica on his morning radio show today, going so far as to tell the story of how he recently forced his daughter to watch a few episodes.Her verdict? “It’s well done.”Which most broadcasters know is not the same as “I like it.”

Chris ’n’ Steve to find something else to do with their mornings starting next month; Fashion relegated to circular File. Now what will Sky Gilbert make fun of? (Why are we even running daytime programming?)
The Incoherent Columnist
March 10, 2009 – 10:17 am
Another day, another Doyle column, without logical or meaningful connection; disjointed; rambling. Even trying to decipher and to write about his trivial, arrogant views is like finding the Rubik’s Cube falling apart in your hands.John wishes newspapers “good luck”, but it’s the reader that will need plenty of it to wade through his confusing arguments.
