LOVE and the CBC

Rod Love, former long-time Chief of Staff to Alberta Premier Ralph Klein, will be the co-host of a new weekly national radio show on CBC Radio One, beginning Monday, January 23rd.

The show, entitled “Type A”, will be a weekly one-hour opinion-based show that examines aspects of Canada’s current economic malaise, and ways to recovery, through the perspective of business leaders, entrepreneurs, and their critics.

“I know this will come as a shock to my many conservative friends who have joined me in fighting the CBC for three decades,” acknowledged Love, referring to legendary battles between Ralph Klein and the Mother Corp over the years.

“During those years, the CBC believed we were dangerous, knuckle-dragging conservative cro-magnons, while we believed the CBC was a left-wing hotbed for dangerous socialst propaganda,” said Love.

Both parties have agreed to a non-disclosure agreement on what they really think now.

“We just hope he doesn’t swear a lot,” said a spokesperson for the CBC who asked to remain anonymous as he was not authourized to comment on what many CBC employees are refering to Love’s arrival as “End of Days’.

The conservative think-tank Fraser Institute was equally circumspect, commenting only “We are sorry to see him go.  Next thing you know he’ll be having tofu and latte with David Suzuki.”

Love’s co-host, Alberta journalist Karin Klassen was ecstatic, gushing, “Well, so far, so good…I guess.”

When asked for his reaction, Prime Minister Stephen Harper replied, “I don’t listen to the CBC”.

‘Type A’ will air nationally at 14:00h local time from coast, to coast, to coast.
