Now, what does this remind you of?

“We didn’t realize the LCBO considered this a licensee sale,” Korberg explained in an interview with CTVNews.ca. That means the LCBO charges the vineyard as if it has sold the bottle to the LCBO for distribution, then charges them to buy it back. “This is a bottle of wine that has never left the property. The wine in the bottle is made 100 per cent by the grapes grown by our own property, by us, and I have to give half the cost of that bottle to the LCBO in order to sell that wine by the glass on my own property,” he said.

That’s not how they work

When this is the goal: Officials predicted earlier this year that the newer model would find average overpayments of $1,739, up from the $1,047 identified during the first generation of the program.

Is it because every modern media person seems to have gotten their start at CBC that they defend it so? It does all of their jobs, radio, TV or web, and does them for ‘free’. That effectively sets the price for all other content providers to squat.
Cause, folks, the CBC is eating you and there ain’t a whole lot left on the carcass, if you know what I mean.

Fromer was a key figure on The Morning Show since its inception in 2011 and her role, along with a number of others across the Global News network, has been impacted as a result of the changing and highly competitive media landscape in Canada.

Isn’t it about time the CBC had to compete for viewers and advertising like the private networks?
