He’s lying

Whether it has to do with grey hair or not, the last person to trust would be the CEO of the company that released her. greyhairrocks

Bull shit.

They can't say otherwise. Usually they put out a bs statement that they are going in a different direction, and obviously you are not included in that direction. 🙄 Nothing is gonna change, not like she's gonna get her job back.

Well the good news is, (excuse the pun), she doesn't have to push govt propaganda now.

Bell Let’s Talk!🙄

She refused to lie?

She's too white.

BellMedia is FAILING in the PR department. Of course the head of BellMediaPR is not going to admit their misogynistic workplace culture What drastic changes were needed with the number 1 newscast & number 1 news anchor who continues to win accolades this year? LisaLaFlamme

Bells makes it easier and easier to hate them

he is right, how dare a woman stand up to him

Bell has a long history of ageism in it's workforce !

Why is it important why her contract wasn’t renewed? She isn’t the first and she won’t be the last!

Never ever liked Lisa just a stool pigeon 🙄

Of course not. It’s because she’s all of those things and white

CTV needs to copy FOX and have young hot blondes in skirts

Methinks it’s skin colour and giant salary.

No. It was the colour of her skin

He would be sued if he admitted to any one of those 3. So what was it then?

What a story, seems since Lisa left the news IS still on at 11pm...get your story straight Mr Head of Bell.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

Water not wet says local pool.

She was too white

Same reason Rogers let Cherry and Bob Cole go. $ $ $

CTV spewing the liberal BS narrative! Why was the manager who fired LaFlamme sent away?
