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

[Frieda Warden]

I hope lots of people will file complaints.  CKNW is probably under CBSC which has an equitable portrayal code (much watered down from the previous gender portrayal code). The CBSC assigns penalties on its own members in cases of complaints judged valid, to protect them from the full force and scrutiny of the CRTC (which could take away a licence).

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.

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.
