@build_canada Thoughtful 'memo'. Great example LIBS '94. Great to build on a win.
The CBC, I feel needs more thought. Trust has dropped largely due to the relentless targeting by CPC. There is still much good there. Seek ideas to keep it poli-neutral? CAD radio now shock jock or US feeds

Thx @JacquelineBNNB for exploring the Holiday Shopping story (thus far) with me on @BNNBloomberg Lets see if our mutual Boxing Day/Week prediction holds - more deal seeking shoppers amidst more reluctance from retailers to deep discount. The wild card? Who is overstocked?

@gordmcintyre We are watching a mega shift in slo-mo. Thanks for showing us the big picture of what we might be missing. As digital costs escalate, even if advertisers wanted to allocate some spend back to print (or broadcast) channels... will they be there?
Going through my box of office stuff, came across the NHL media guide from my last season as a Canucks beat writer, 11 years ago - we had 11 reporters/columnists covering the team between Province/Sun.
Today there are two (hugely overworked) beat guys
