‘Lisa LaFlamme’s dismissal feels like a reflection of the times. Frankly, I don’t think it matters to most people who reads the news to them.’ Fallout at CTV News, plus other letters to the editor for Aug. 21
: To have the head of a national media organization question whether or not a national media figure should or should not have natural grey hair is disgusting.How ironic. Having not apparently used any grey matter regarding Lisa LaFlamme’s employment as an anchor, her former CTV News bosses probably have a lot more grey hairs themselves – a byproduct of many Canadians’ distaste of their seemingly ageist and sexist decision-making.I am 51. I do not need to stay up until 11 p.m.
As a family doctor, I treat women every day who become anxious and depressed or refuse to eat because they cannot live up to some fallacy that is portrayed in media. I urge CBC to grab the opportunity as Canada’s public broadcaster and do the right thing.As many commenters have pointed out, it’s not what Bell Media has done but how it was done. There should have been a more respectful process to acknowledge and honour Lisa LaFlamme’s lengthy, successful career.
