It says they're raising the "base salary."

Are they implying that men had a higher base salary?

And if that's the case, doesn't that mean women will have a higher base salary than men now?

I'm surprised CBC actually allows open discourse on their website!

Hahaha me too.
CBC are actually the biggest damn racists. Total champagne socialist mouthpiece. I am not just talking about racist towards white men but also blacks. Years ago they axed the only black programs they had. They are also sexist and very much misandric. And all on taxpayer dime. I'm paying for their propaganda and crappy shows.

CBC: Canadians broadcasting crap.

I largely gave up on the CBC years ago as it became hard to listen to. I do tune into the Saturday afternoon opera broadcasts on Radio 2 and I also download the podcasts for Quirks and Quarks and the occasional Ideas program.

The CBC of today is a far cry from the one that ran Morningside with the Don Harron and, earlier, the live-to-air As It Happens with William Ronald and Harry Brown on Monday nights.

I've heard a recording of an episode of "as it happens". Cezar Chavez was on it. And I dig that weird electronic theme song! Lol

The earliest theme, at least when I started listening to it, was a synthesizer piece. I looked for it for years and I've drawn a blank. Later, when AIH went to a 90-minute format weeknights (with Barbara Frum and Alan Maitland), it used Curried Soul by Moe Koffman for the opening:

and this over the closing credits:

I enjoyed listening to it, particularly in the early days when it was live. No two time zones got the exact same show each week, which made it rather interesting. Back then, they played either recorded music or comedy between interviews, which was where I heard Monty Python for the first time.

It became so popular that it was changed to a weeknight format, running 90 minutes instead of 2 hours. The show interviewed all sorts of people--you name them, chances are AIH spoke with them. Later, it added daily features and I remember listening to Isaac Asimov's bit called Eureka! during the Thursday night shows. Friday nights the last half hour was often given over to vintage radio shows (e. g., the BBC's Round the Horne or episodes of the SF series X-1).

I stopped listening to it about 20 years ago when Michael Enright became host. I found his style rather annoying. Still, it was fun and informative while it lasted.
