Bell CEO makes a statement.
Takeaways:
1. It's very obvious he had no idea about the firing based on his statement and had to find out the details behind her termination from below him.
2. His speech about how broadcasting in Canada is undergoing change and needing to adapt sounds very 'business' oriented. Problem is...they didn't cancel the 11 o'clock news. They outright solely replaced a middle aged women with grey hair with a man, months after comments by a VP on her grey hair. His speech doesn't match the actions taken.
3. They also are legally unable to admit any type of fault at this point. Any apology or admission of wrongdoing will be used against them in court. They are at the point of no return now, because they decided to double down on protecting their VP who had a clear personal vendetta or prejudice against her, instead of attempting to make things right from the start. Their only option was a settlement and confidentiality agreement behind closed doors, and it looks like this is about to be blown wide open where they will have no choice but to give LaFlamme a blank cheque.
This isn't going away Mirko. Buckle up.
