Brett Bundale, The Canadian PressThe decision to end Lisa LaFlamme's contract with CTV National News had nothing to do with her age, gender or grey hair, the head of Bell Media’s parent company said.
His post caps a week of growing fallout from LaFlamme's departure that saw Bell Media vice-president of news Michael Melling take a leave from his job as of Friday. "Any necessary changes that become evident will be implemented swiftly to ensure a respectful, unified workplace." "In making their 'business decision,' Bell confirmed one sad truth: even after all the progress women have made, they continue to face sexism and ageism at work everyday in a way which is unacceptable," said the letter addressed to the board of directors and management of BCE and Bell Canada.
