CBC Radio UPDATE

My appearance has been postponed for the time being because as I have been told by the field producer that called me, they want to do a little more checking on where responsibility for the mishap lies.

Fair enough…by all means do your due dilligence.  But unlike Mike Howell from the Vancouver Courier, who tiptoed around the issue of blame attribution in his story, I will not.

Readers can once again carefully review my post detailing the chronology of initiatives, guidelines, motions and reports having to do with accessibility and inclusion, and all of which can be directly connected to former Mayor Sam Sullivan’s leadership, or lack thereof.

I certainly hope that CBC isn’t backing away from the story because of another reporter.

As I have been told, there is going to be some kind of follow-up once more comments and information become available.  Let’s see.

Tomorrow, I will cover another national disgrace when it comes to the Paralympic Games and our official Games broadcaster CTV.
