So, it appears the head of CTV fired Lisa LaFlamme because she let her hair go grey. Wow! Michael Melling, the head of CTV, was the guy who fired her. I hope the board dumps his ass because this is a clear indication of what he thinks of women. Not much.
Luckily for Sandie Rinaldo she started dying her dark hair a long time ago because at 72, she's definitely hiding a lot of grey under that blonde dye. And poor Angie Seth better watch her back -- and maybe even buy some black hair dye -- because she's got a lot of grey in her locks.
After more than half a century of battling uphill for every crumb, women seem to have made no progress -- not with the likes of Melling running shows. Maybe Melling got his attitudes about women from playing Minor Hockey -- another forum where men are Neanderthals and women expected to be compliant Barbie's. It's so depressing for my cohort, those of us who risked it all and went to the barricades soooooooo long ago, deluding ourselves into thinking we'd make progress. Sigh.............
Looking at the board of Bell Media, the chair is a guy called Gordon Nixon. Out of 13 members, five are women. All the men are very button-downed and straight-laced. Sigh.............
Here's a letter I had in 'The Calgary Herald' today, which has now been superseded by the news that has just come out about Lisa LaFlamme's grey hair being the problem. Sigh...........
