I mean it seems like a suit firing a prominent anchor because that anchor (1) stood up against the suit trying to influence coverage and (2) demanded more resources to do actual journalisms seems like a fairly significant deal. For all its faults the news still serves several actual functions in our doddery fraying democracy so there's more to care about here than mere palace intrigue.

the people who own CTV are ghoulish fucks chasing some dumb poo poo

locally here in winnipeg they fired Gord Leclerc who was with em for 25 years out of nowhere - he said just one day they walked him out and that was that

quote:

After helping to host the Salvation Army’s Kettle Campaign kickoff on Nov. 13, 2019, the longtime CTV Winnipeg news anchor returned to the station, grabbed a cup of coffee and was waiting for his shift to begin.

That’s when he was summoned to a meeting, which he believed was to discuss increasing the station’s relationship with another local charity.

Gord Leclerc joined CTV in 1995 and had been the local station's senior news anchor since 2002.

"So I brought my notepad and went upstairs, walked into the office, there was the HR manager, my news director and the general manager," Leclerc recalls, breaking a long silence about the moment his 25-year on-air career came to an unexpected halt.

"He (the GM) said, 'Let's begin by saying this meeting isn't about increasing our presence with this charity; your position has been eliminated.' That's how it happened. It was a total shock. I was certainly lost for words. I didn't see this coming. I was stunned sitting there. It was very businesslike," Leclerc says.

"After almost 26 years, it just seemed like — wow — a complete shock. The HR person went through a few other options for me. My position was eliminated, really that's all I was told. Truth be told, I don't remember a lot of that conversation. It was a two-ton weight dropping... I'm assuming it was just a numbers game and a budget game.

"I was walked out the door. After that meeting, my news director said, 'I'll get your coat, I'll get your lunch bag.' I walked out the door with the manager beside me. I gave them my key code card... I was escorted out of the building and told my phone would be shut off. I got a cab and went home."

"eliminated" - yeah, they eliminated the host of local news, sure.

I mean, for this reason inflation is basically made up - someone said the word "inflation" too loudly and companies saw an excuse to raise prices and say "inflation y'know, can't be helped" because corporations aren't happy if they aren't making all of the money.

Like, the answer is not exactly what BoC is leading to, but we do need to not "believe" in inflation and tell companies to go gently caress themselves, but that would require widescale collective action like a general strike that won't happen any time soon.

On a related note, I've noticed my grocery store has gotten a lot more diligent about having someone actively watching the self checkouts.

There is no incentive for businesses to willingly lower their prices if consumers are able to pay the higher price for the same good.

if you want to pay less for bread then be the change you want to see in the world, found your own grocery store to compete with loblaws, that is the magic of capitalism, anyone is free to accumulate sufficient startup capital to compete with a corporation with annual revenue of fifty billion dollars and buddy if you dont like it you can go move to north korea, i filmed this video in the front seat of my pickup truck

He said his team conducted extensive due diligence with outside experts and consultants. They were aware of management and regulatory issues at Celsius and underestimated the time it would take to resolve them, he said, adding the Caisse was keen on “seizing the potential of block chain technology” and perhaps the investment in Celsius had been made “too soon” in the company’s development.
