CBC Labor Dispute

Filed under: — sven @ 19:18 GMT

One of my favorate podcasts is the CBC Radio 3 podcast, where thay play independent Canadian bands. Last week the host, Grant Lawrence, was replaced by a voice synthesizer, the robot, and implied that he would be back. This week the robot said that there is a labor dispute, after a little surfing it seems that Mr. Lawrence and piers are locked out.

So, if I wish support the locked out workers, should I unsubscribe from the podcast? Would that be bad for the independent artists? I’m not actually sure who I consider bad guys for this one, I have not read enough yet. Plus I’m not a Canadian tax payer, so perhaps nobody the my opnion means nothing in this anyway.

  1. This lockout sucks. MPs are against it. Board members of the CBC chewed out the new head of the CBC about it. Rural Canadians rely on the CBC. I’m not a Canadian eithr, but the CBC has a lot I listen to regularly.
