Canada: An illusion of the CBC?

Peter Rukavina

If we ever needed evidence to support our suspicion that Canada is simply a creation of the CBC, consult clause 5.1 of the proposed agreement between the CBC and the Communication, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada: there is a job classification there called Virtual Reality Operator.

Presumably these are the CBC technicians who, among other things, make the sun come up, start the traffic up on the 401, make Knowlton Nash speak, put the Cheerios in the virtual grocery stores, etc. Lord knows what happens if they go on strike tomorrow afternoon.

Rally on, union brothers and sisters.
