Strombo makes a public statement:

Another voice of reason has been Ghomeshi's former CBC co-worker George Stroumboulopoulos, who addressed the situation on his radio show without mentioning Ghomeshi by name. "It's almost all been heartbreaking, not just as a human but as a Canadian and as a member of the CBC family, a family that I am very honoured to be a part of," he said.

"My position today is what my position has been my entire life," Strombo continued. "There is no grey area when it comes to violence, and there is no grey area when it comes to sexual consent. And further to that, I hope we've all learned the value of creating a safer space for victims, so they don't have to hide or fear backlash. Men need to talk about this with each other, it's important. If you've experienced domestic violence or sexual harassment at work, there are people who can help."

"I'm not naive. I know what's on people's minds. Support and love to women who stepped forward, support and love to women who feel like they can't. We support and love you."
