I listen to CBC everyday. I wasn't a big fan of Q, usually flip the dial to 630 Ched at 1000 when he came on then returned to CBC for "Alberta at Noon."

But for the naysayers CBC has some excellent programming and anyone who claims otherwise clearly doesn't actually listen to the station.

Other than the morning news, which is only slightly better than real radio there is nothing but pablum on CBC. WHich is why not many people listen to it.

rough sex does not sell

Yes it does. Just like vanilla sex, and a rubntug. Sex Sells

Should be interesting to see what comes of all this.

Jian's popularity will likely not be damaged. Everybody loves a train reck, half the women are smitten with him anyways, and the other half'll be curious. He's not talking sports, he's talking art and entertainment. EVERYTHING goes with Art and entertainment.

50 shades of Jian to be released in 2015.

He will be played by the guy who played Dave in Flight of the Conchords.

No everyone at the CBC is not a Liberal I know some who are anything but.
Sometimes perception has more pull than reality.
As for this story I am puzzled as to why we got the shotgun approach just
spewed out all at once.
It could be kinky gone too far
A spiteful old girlfriend leading a charge
It could be more than one playmate now wanting to cash in by going to court
And it could be we are dealing with some disturbing issues that are not just
what does on ones own time. sexually or otherwise If its two people doing
whatever that is one thing if its not consensual that is another.
We often here what one does on their own time is no business of ours and
that is true as long as it is legal.

Peeping Toms
Bank Robbing
Murder
Violent illegal sexual behavior would also rank in that category if the allegations
are true.
The problem is we haven't heard from all the participants yet and I am sure we
will. The only caution we need to be objective and separate facts from gossip

You must be confused by Suzuki's stunt double that he uses for things like climbing the stairs and photo ops.

In real life, he is broken-down, crotchety and feeble

Hmmm, I just saw a pic of him with my friends daughter that was taken last week. He didn't look like any of those adjectives. In fact he looked swoon worthy. lol

If you happen to listen to C.B.C. on Xmas Eve when listeners phone in to convey Xmas wishes to friends and family, you get the sense there's a big audience. Mostly family oriented people!

Some people don't like him, Twila!:)

I didn't know he was 47. Anyway it seems that's old enough to know better than to let your sex life become public fodder. Nothing good ever becomes of it.

I really liked his interview with Quincy Jones. Jones was impressed too.

Everybody that works for the CBC is a liberal. So everybody that is right of centre is obligated to hate him...or admit to not knowing who he is. I've listened to the show (although not regularly) and have no idea what the man's political slant is. I'm not sure it's relevant when you are interviewing Johnny Reid.


I guess that would make me left wing.

He didnt let it. If what he says is true he did everything he could to keep it quiet. If it is the reason CBC fired him which he implied, then he has a reason to put it out there and fight it.
