This morning on the radio, I heard a short clip about a dirty little secret the CBC has. Or more accurately, two dirty little secrets.
There are apparently video and/or photos taken with a hidden camera of two smoking lounges located in the CBC’s Toronto facilities. Smoking lounges with nice, comfy sofas and ashtrays packed with cigarette butts.
It’s nice to know that private corporations in Ontario are legally mandated to be smoke free but the precious CBC can have not one, but TWO smoking rooms.
I have yet to see this in print, but as soon as I do, I will add to this blog post. You can read about this in the National Post.
Stay tuned.
(Note: I am not against smoking, as I, myself, smoked for over 18 years. I just think what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Keep your eyes open for a public announcement that these smoking rooms have been officially closed.)

Two smoke rooms, one for the Elites and one for the unwashed who man the cameras, booms, lights and catch Peter Mansbridges’ farts.

according to the NP article, it’s perfectly legal, so I don’t see the big deal. Any indignation should be pointed at the federal gov’t who allows this, while constantly scolding us about our smoking habits.
Let ’em smoke themselves into an early grave, for all I care.

So whats the surprise?
This is part and parcel of Dalton’s two tier justice in Ontario.
Go enforce the law Dalton.
The only reason I can conclude is that the liberals don’t want to upset CBC Toronto so close to the next provincial election.
