CBC strikes: a nation suffers, the third wave

Three days into the triple plus ungood CBC lock out of its own employees. The CBC, or Mother CBC as we should call it, has abandoned us to a "management riot" of unfamiliar faces easing our way into BBC World Service news and Nature of Things reruns.

CUPE spokes-being, Paul Moist had this to say.

"I can't blame CBC workers for rejecting management's outsourcing proposals," said Moist. "Outsourcing is a form of privatization that will only weaken the CBC. Broadcast quality, morale and Canada's cultural discourse will all suffer if the plan to outsource succeeds."

I knew there was an absence in my life these last few days. An aching, nameless pain. Oh, Canada's cultural discourse, when will you come back to me? You are such a bargain at one billion dollars a year!
