@crimegarden @OttawaCitizen No one wins long strike/lockout. The Citizen will risk losing some of its best journalists to other jobs. More talent won’t want to come back - it’s surprising who takes voluntary layoffs. Halifax paper lost a lot of its mid-career reporters. Readers get used to not reading
