Yup! I worked for Amnesty International Canada whose response to the health and equity concerns about COVID and in-person requirements was “the government doesn’t require us to do anything” which was funny considering they see themselves as unwavering watchdogs for governments’ harmful actions

if it won’t do what’s right to keep its own people safe at work, how can you trust it to tell you how to protect yourself at yours, and to demand better of your government?

i loved my job. and i still i believe in the public broadcaster.

but you can’t compromise with COVID.

or the truth.

and that’s how the CBC has not only failed me and the rest of its employees, it has also failed you and the rest of canadians.

it has failed to protect us and our families from the real harms of COVID. and it has failed to adequately inform you and all canadians of the risks of this disease.

but COVID is incompatible with business as usual. because COVID is a workplace safety issue—one that demands a complete occupational reset to adequately deal with it.

like most corporations, though, CBC is unprepared to lead that vital transformation of the status quo.

it can only follow.

this is known science. what is still unknown is the cumulative impact of dozens of COVID infections over a lifetime.

but on most days, that’s not the messaging you hear on CBC or other legacy media. the quirks episode was an exception, not the norm.

for the most part, it’s business as usual.
