By whom? And where?

worth discussing, if only because the innuendo on the one hand trumps the other
allegation.

Metro Morning 30 Birthday Bash in June. She was charming, engaging, self-effacing
and demure - not the sort of qualities that I'd expect from a high-level executive.
Of course, none of this proves or refutes the innuendo made in the troll, but it's
not my business to wonder whether there's any merit in any of it.
Specifically (and I've told this story before here) I had gone out on the sidewalk on
Front Street to feed my addiction (my trip to Toronto meant that I could get a pack
of Export 'A's, and I wasn't passing up the chance to inhale) where I met Susan
Marjetti, who I knew only because she made a presentation to the Metro Morning staff,
one of the other staff and this very familiar-looking woman. They had some nice
things to say to me, seeing as I had made the trip in, but I had to note that I
recognised Ms Chalmers, without knowing who she was. She brushed off my claim of
familiarity, saying that she wasn't on-air talent, but I insisted that I knew she was
a notable. Smiling broadly (and she has such a winning smile) she held out her hand,
saying that she was Jane Chalmers, VP of English Radio....but of course! That's
where I had seen her - when she was named to the post. At no time did she behave as
though she was this high-powered executive that everyone should know. Maybe that's
just a Canadian thing, but the fact that she made no attempt to elevate herself as a
member of the elite won a lot of points with me.
As for what she's done for the Corp, I'm quite happy that she's been willing to undo
the "legacy" that Alex Frame left behind. Corporate politics being what they are, it
takes a commitment to do the right thing in the face of a lot of competing needs, and
in that regard I can't complain. I think the trouble here is that there will always
be some malcontent, who, failing to get evidence of real malfeasance, will resort to
a smear in order to further their own agenda.

` There's been much speculation regarding Jane Chalmers, the current

"just a concerned viewer" but nontheless determined to simply repeat
the previous allegations verbatim. The word smear comes to mind.

It's important that you stare a the radio really hard, I presume, while
you are listening to it. Hrm. Or maybe you're listening on the Net
and can't stop staring at the purdy numbers blowing by in the Real
Player?

heterosexual execs hiring heterosexual assistants. I'm sure I already see
crypto-hetero influences on The Red Green show in all the references to him
coming home to his wife after the show. It's quite sickening. I mean, if
they want to be heterosexual, why can't they just shut up about it?

You seem to have a slight misconception of how usenet works. I
would urge caution in your posts, as there is no post-editing
function to usenet, and archives are forever.
This newsgroup is intended to
` pass on information and discuss real issues about the CBC..not
` disparage someone. Let's put an end to this kind of stupidity.
` Thanks.
Notwithstanding the original post got the level of respect it
deserved, including from me, you should also realize that if
usenet has one resource in infinite quantities, it's stupidity.
In that respect it mirrors life amongst the humans very well.

Gee, I thought this newsgroup was intended for cranky oldbies who
remember why the alt.* hierarchy was created in the first place, and
who happen to like CBC Radio. Who knew that a.r.n.c had a charter?
