   What the hell does all that have to do with how he was doing his job on CBC?   
      
   You dummies are going into the details . . .  'he said' . . . 'she said' . . .   
   'they said' . . . .   
   What the hell do allegations like this have to do with the man's job on CBC?   
      
   If any one of them had actually been sexually assaulted, without consent, they   
   obviously would have filed a police complaint.   
   Seems none of them did.   
   This becomes nothing more than a private affair being used as a blackmail tool   
   by a single accuser and her contacts.   
   CBC should have known better than to fire him over something so common.  No   
   investigation by authorities?  Until one was done that proved him guilty of   
   something, he should have been allowed to continue in his job at CBC.   
      
   This is going to cost CBC more than just money.  It's going to lower them in   
   the estimation of many, many Canadians.  Including this one.
