And people chide me about calling it “the state-run CBC division of the Liberal Party”….
This is how the Liberals will “end patronage appointments” and “end all cronyism”, as the Liberal Prime Minister Paul (“we lead the world”) Martin said during the last election campaign, using some of that famous special liberal type of honesty:
Nice appointment if you can get it. Rai Sahi, chief executive of Morguard REIT, has been named to the board of Canadian Broadcasting Corp. The appointment generated a few shots on Parliament Hill this week. It prompted one Tory to remark: “Liberal patronage and cronyism has hit a new low. Who is that? A close personal friend of the Prime Minister, a former business associate of Canada Steamship Lines, a donor to the Liberal Party who owns the building the CBC leases as its head office in Ottawa. One would think it was enough that he gets the rent cheque from the CBC every month.” One of Mr. Sahi’s companies—he also owns Morguard Corp.—owns the building the CBC leases in Ottawa.
Thanks to the Financial Post for reporting this. I didn’t happen to see it anywhere else.
Don’t bother searching the state-run CBC.CA web site:
