If the CBC did not want him on the air because of optics, they were not obligated to put him on the air. Their choice was not between the status quo and firing him. People seem to miss that
Don't be silly. Just keeping him could cost them.

Dumb people seem to miss that.

As I've said, I don't know this douchebag and don't much care about him but I do about the people who for a myriad of reasons have deferred, hesitated or refused to act on things that have happened to them

...whether it was yesterday, last year or 30 years ago

...I've never known anyone close to me but it must feel terrible and take an awful toll thinking that you'll be disgraced, humiliated, scorned, sued or worse, not believed if they try to summon the courage to tell their story, the truth of what happened to them, by some sick bastard

...I'm no fan of these false accusations we've heard about either but when it feels right, bonifide, right...then I'm happy when the victims move forward with support from friends, family, professionals and such

...sounds like gropeshi is in deep sh!t and I hear he's in California at the moment...who knows, he might even be the type to run away or even off himself when cornered nad the bell tolls for grohmeshi.

...I hope all these women find courage as a group, face it, face him, overcome and heal.





and the ceeb ain't no angel either:

I just got to thinking C.B.C. waited until a couple of days after his Dad died to lower the boom! I doubt if that was any coincidence!

You seem to know a lot about somebody you "claim" to know nothing about nor care about.

Alright, Line 2, a caller in Red Deer, good morning, welcome to Locutus Live...do you have a comment?

You seem to know a lot about somebody you "claim" to know nothing about nor care about.

Only as much as what's scribbled on the bathroom stalls...kinda like what we know about you champ.

The public stuff is window dressing on this story. The CBC was dealing with workplace complaints.

What complaints was he causing at the work place?
Someone mentioned optics. It's not about that. There weren't any optics until he went public after his firing. It's about complaints by employees of alleged inappropriate conduct at work, not about what he did in his own bedroom.
