\/\/illy Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 "Guy Fournier, the chair of CBC's board of directors, resigned yesterday amid a growing furor over his remarks about the joys of defecation and the legality of bestiality in Lebanon." Here's the article. Personally I think he's right about the bowel movement. Dammit that can be rewarding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Compression Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 I agree with the BM thing too. In fact ... got to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hux Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Dude is clearly a kook, but sadly this will likely allow the Conservatives to start a review-type exercise of the CBC which they have been itching to get at for a long time - read: eliminate.

MK Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Seems like a funny guy - something the CBC has no sense of. I'm not too happy to be paying his pension though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 What a nut! What's scary is the fact the the current president, Rabinovich, gets to temp take over the chair of the board that directly effects his own position. Conflict of interest? Bev Oda has been sitting on data that directly shows the mismanagement of the CBC and misappropriation of funds. The Conservatives put the Heritage Committee on hold and stopped the investigation as soon as they took power. This is irresponsible of the gov't to do. Oda should be fired and Harper ... well, i won't say. The Conservatives won't elimate the CBC. There should be changes though. My worry, is that this gov't is not looking out for the best interests of the public in making the changes. Sad state really. I work here at the Mother Corpse ... it's so "over managed" it's ridiculous. Management spends so much cash on travel, meetings, toys, etc. yet short-changes the staff and continually makes cuts. You keep cutting the bottom of the tree, it eventually falls over. Later . . . Kanada Kev =8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoulia Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 I love the word "furor".That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 One would think the spelling of that should be "furour" (which I think it was in Old English), to be consistent with the Canadian focus of this thread, but I just checked, and it's not. You're right, though - good word . That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
