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.
View Article  'Media look to smartphones to help pay for news'

From CP via CTV.ca:

Some of Canada's leading news organizations are betting that avid BlackBerry users are also news junkies and have introduced a mobile service specifically for RIM smartphones.

View Article  The Canadian Press to chop 25 jobs

From The Globe and Mail:

The restructuring is part of a plan that has seen CP get federal permission to suspend its pension contributions for 2009 through 2011, to alleviate financial pressure on the operations. ... The job cuts are equal to eight per cent of CP's work force. Staff will be offered buyouts, which will be followed by layoffs if required, according to an internal memo.

The brief cites the pullout of CanWest Global and Quebecor from the co-operative as hurting revenues.

View Article  Souvlaki, anyone?

BlogTO recently did a round-up of souvlaki and gyros opportunities in t-dot.

I can vouch for Astoria, Asteria, Alexandros and Yiannis's in St. Lawrence Market.

A joint at College/Ossington offers up a solid Nova Scotia-style donair.

I wonder if BlogTO will do a similar meta-review review of falafel and sharwarma (it has reviewed individual shawarma joints here and there)?

My vote: Laila at Bloor/Bathurst.
