Subject: [Wamvan] CKNW/CFOX/Global Hosts Sexism Re: Women in Politics

Hi folks,
This morning there was a simulcast of the Jeff O'Neil show on CKNW and CFOX. O'Neil suggested to his co-hosts, Chris Gailus and Squire Barnes from Global, that they ask Justin Trudeau to say whether he would, "F*, Kill or Marry" Health Minister Rona Ambrose ("the beautiful Rona Ambrose"), Laureen Harper, and former Governor General Michaelle Jean. 
If you want to listen to the segment it's in the Audio Vault from 7 a.m. this morning at just past 16 minutes in (http://www.cknw.com/audio-vault/).
A few folks are looking at formal complaints (thanks for the idea, Donna!) but given how fast things move in media/social media I think an immediate pushback is also warranted and may be successful in at least getting an apology.  
Can I ask WAM!mers to take a minute to call the two station switchboards (CKNW is 604-331-2711 and CFOX is 604-684-7221 to register a complaint? And if you're on Twitter, please also tweet to @jeffoneilshow, @chrisgailus, @sbarnesglobal, @cknw and @cfoxvan. If you feel like using the YWCA campaign hashtag #NOTokay, I'd say it would be appropriate.
Thanks all!
Jarrah
