In the "About me" section to the right and down I have included the names of persons whom I have tremendous respect for.

GHOMESHI "PEACE BOND" SOLUTION




Generally I would characterize public reaction to the sex assault charges against Jian Ghomeshi being withdrawn in favour of a peace bond, as favourable. Along with the peace bond was a verbal and written apology of actually quite significant proportions and admissions. The May 11/16 Waterloo Region Record carrys the story titled "Ghomeshi's lawyer behind "peace bond" solution". Mr. Ghomeshi's apology certainly sounds sincere but the discription of his behaviour was quite outrageous and clearly demeaning for the woman on the receiving end of his rude in the workplace behaviour.

Clearly this is but one more case of a lack of democracy and justice in the workplace. If the CBC are not unionized they should be. If they are and the union representing all employees allowed or enabled Mr. Ghomeshi's behavior, just like CBC management did, then they should all be sacked. I've seen pretty outrageous double standards in the workplace during my decades there; whereby certain "favourites" got away figuratively with murder while the rest of us got sacked or hung out to dry for less flagrant and offensive behaviour.
