Who would have thought that Ottawa might get involved?Not me. As recently as yesterday I was predicting finger pointing and big words but little action out of Ottawa. But it appears that Labour Minister Joe Fontana is going to make Rabinovich and Amber an offer they can't refuse. His office has said as much: According to Fontana spokesperson Peter Graham ""I don't think this is an invitation either of them can turn down,"
Then this afternoon . Sam Bulte was out , Bulte, parliamentary secretary to Canadian Heritage Minister Liza Frulla. said
"We need you," Bulte told locked-out CBC employees on the picket line in Toronto. "You are the strongest cultural institution that we have. Without you we are not a country. "[The federal government] will do everything it can to build the CBC back because that's what we need for this country."
Bulte's full comments can be heard on CBCUnplugged, (Thanks Tod.)
Come what may on Monday, we can at least go into the weekend, and start week 7 on a positive note. Deep breath everyone - it's not over, but it's different!
