Laflamme warsJesse's take on this it on target. The CRTC mandates that Bell has to have a news division in order for it to get cable and cell market access that provides them BILLIONS in revenue that we all know they provide shitty service at INSANE rates. So if they can't git rid of the news (as they clearly aren't intending on competing) then they cut as much as they can get away with. Scapegoating Mike isn't going to work now that the backlash has struck a cultural nerve. I don't see the board blinking on this as long as they are making bank off of the cell service. Only the CRTC changing the terms of the deal will correct this.
