Popularity isn't an issue (but yes, his was one of the more high-profile programs on CBC). It's more of an issue of private sexual behaviour vs the expectations of a profession in the public eye. Further, there's the question of consent...

I'm not sure if I would have supported Yes or No, but I'm glad that Alex Salmond didn't pull a Jacques Parizeau... |
That was an interesting vote. I wish I could have followed it more.
From what I gathered I would have voted for no. My initial inclination was I would have voted yes because I do believe that a govt can better serve a population of 5 million then they can a population of 50 million. Looking into it though I quickly saw that salmonds plan for post separation was pretty laughable, mostly because of the massive over valuation of scottish oil, naive national defense plan and the poor options for currency conversion.
The yes camp was really poorly run though. It should have never been doubt that yes could lose but the passionless yes campaign probably lost a lot of swing voters. No also probably got a lot of votes from the bizarre decision to open up voting to the 16 and 17 year Olds
Later Looking at the yes camp I got the feeling that the drive to separation was much less about building them selves a better future and national pride then it was about petty resentment for "the British Empire"
Cooler heads prevailed on this one

So the man believe the company fired for a different reason than what they saying?  It seems a more private matter. I mean if he believe he was fired for one reason he could make it up to take as much money from the company. I mean the company has the right to fire someone but only if fair. On the otherhand he could be right. I guess it will be court who decides in the end. The people handling the case must know a lot more than most.

It's pretty clear why he was fired. His private sex life is unseemly to some, and the CBC fired him because their perception of it differs from his. He's admittedly into BDSM, but there's some unproven allegations that it wasn't always consented to. There will be much coming out in the courts... this issues raises questions about consent, and what boundaries we are entitled to between our professional and private lives.

...Oh dear... It seems that more and more women are coming forward, adding to the original report. It looks like that Jian Ghomeshi was committing sexual harrassment and abuse against women. It's tough for women to report abuse when the perpetrator is in a powerful and respected position. More info will come out in the wash, but the alleged behaviour is pretty disgusting.

It seems they were completely right in firing him. Well at least they were completely within their right to do so. I mean a company shouldn't have to associate with someone who does such wrong if they choose not to.

Dems are getting blown the Fuck out so far. They already lost 3 seats. They need six seats for Senate control...
