who employs me
I am a staff writer with CTV.ca News. That operation is part of CTV News, which is of course nestled into CTV Inc. and CTVglobemedia.

I don't speak for my employer on this blog. I don't comment about the internal affairs of my employer.

Any views expressed here are my own.

At a short ceremony led by (Hrant) Dink's close friends and family, crowds of people marked his murder at 1457 (1257 GMT) on 19 January 2007 with a moment of silence outside the offices of the Agos newspaper (in Istanbul).

Protesters in Istanbul with slogans "We are all Hrant Dink. We are all Armenians"
The murder triggered widespread anger and shock in Turkey

Dozens of carnations and candles were laid at the spot where the 53-year-old died. ...

The murder of Mr Dink triggered widespread anger and shock in Turkey, and caused massive crowds to take to the streets, chanting: "We are all Armenians, we are all Hrant Dinks."

Mr Dink was a hate figure for extreme (Turkish) nationalists and had received death threats before he was killed.

He was well-known for writing articles about the mass killing of hundreds of thousands of Armenians by the Ottoman Turks in 1915.

View Article  No strike call yet at Toronto Star

From CP via CTV.ca:

Contract talks between Torstar Corp. and the union representing staff at Canada's largest circulation newspaper continued past a Friday midnight deadline.

Bob Hepburn, a spokesman for Torstar, said at midnight that talks were going on beyond the deadline.

Both the union and the newspaper's representatives were silent about what was being discussed behind closed doors at an undisclosed downtown Toronto location.

“I can't comment on any of the negotiations at this point,” Mr. Hepburn said earlier Friday. “There is a media blackout and we've made agreements with the union not to discuss negotiations or any points in the negotiations.”
