That same scandal that ol’ Chrissie Paradis once . . . → Read More: Quebecor And RLQ’s Chou-Chou, Eric Duhaime Has Hit a New Low–Enough With The Canadian Arrogant Complacency!

Jymn — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 01:58:02 +0000

Most likely spurred by the facts presented by the CBC about Quebecor’s welfare habit, the media chain’s chief came out firing today against the ‘state broadcaster’. Problem is, Peladeau came off wimpy and whiny, somehow befitting a news chain known for its self victimization and pouting. Not only that, there was a whiff of paranoia when . . . → Read More: Poor Pierre Karl Peladeau. Playing the victim again. Paranoid, too.
