It must be a horrific burden to be a "CBC personality."
Look what happened to Gomeshi!
Apparently he was getting a lot of mileage out of his rough sex schtick till somebody spilled the beans.
All of a sudden sexual assault wasn't funny anymore.
Gomeshi was the first and last guy in a long time to be publicly lynched by the CBC.
Till now.
Evan Solomon facilitated the sale of some Canadiana between folks he was personally acquainted with.
Apparently that's as bad as being an accused serial sexual predator; too much for the CBC.
The think tank here at Falling Downs thinks we're falling all over foregone conclusions here.
The real reason Mr. Solomon is in the shit-house is that he is not sufficiently deferential to the party line.
I'll let you figure out which party that might be.

Pot-addled blogger beats Postmedia to Savile-Ghomeshi parallels by two weeks
Which is quite an achievement, considering the story is barely two weeks old!
The unpaid interns at Postmedia have this story floating around today. There are parallels between the Jimmy and Jian stories? Forsooth! Who knew?
The unpaid interns at Falling Downs had it nailed two weeks ago, that's who.

Canada's youth employment strategy; "work for free!"
That tip for building your future came from Bank of Canada boss Stephen Poloz today.
Hey sure, why not? If Ma 'n Pa are kind enough to let you stay at their place, you kinda owe it too them anyway, don't you? You could get yourself a nice unpaid internship, especially if you're a comely female unemployed youth! Word is Jian Ghomeshi assisted many a young unemployed female into the workforce, and while it's too late to take advantage of his particular generosity, there are lots of other employers out there willing to take a chance on a desperate young person willing to work for free.
Meanwhile, us half-a-million a year bureaucrats want to remind you that your government owes you nothing. Nada. Dick. Sweet FA. As a matter of fact we're upping the legal immigration quota to a record 285,000 for next year, because if you lazy ingrates won't work for free, maybe they will! And we're also full steam ahead on bringing in another 300,000 or so foreign temps, just to keep Canadian workers even more flexible.
Hey, it's not our fault they've got skills that you don't; don't blame your government that there's no job training available for you. That's not our job. That would be interfering with the private sector, and in Harper's Canada, the private sector is the engine of growth.
So off you go then! Shut off the X-box and get off the couch! There must be some business in your neighbourhood willing to let you work for nothing, and if not in your neighbourhood, at least within a couple of hours commute by city bus.
If you can't find a job working for free, you've no one to blame but yourself.
The think tank here at Falling Downs sincerely hopes that this foolishness, coming from one of the top guardians of our economy, will blow a fresh wind into the sails of the Red Square folks and all other like-minded youth.

Is Jian Ghomeshi the new Jimmy Savile?
Almost looks like it, eh?
They appear to have had the same MO. Dude in position of authority extorts sexual favors from underlings.
Be they unpaid interns, guests, or co-workers, the victims kept quiet because they went along with the game.
No tyrant can survive without the complicity of the oppressed.

CBC dumps Jian Ghomeshi for violating corporate code on pants-off time
Hell, I didn't even know CBC had a corporate code for pants-off time. I always assumed pants-off time was private time... unless of course Jian was indulging in oinky-boinky adventures at work?
Not that such a thing has never happened before... hell, I've known CBC folks for years, and the tales they tell... it's really hard to fathom what Jian might have done to draw down the corporate gods of political correctitude.
But I don't know the details, nor do I want to. Suffice to say, it's a sad day when the struggling CBC cuts loose its brightest shining star.
God speed to ya, Jian!
