I've released two reviews in recent days.
The first involved complaints from three separate parties on a CBC Television report on a tailings pond in Alberta. I found that CBC performed a public service in raising the issue. Its initial stories would have benefited from comment from the company operating the pond and its online headline was not supported.
The second involved offensive remarks on a CBC Television program. I found that the effort to apologize to date has not sufficed.
I have agreed to review two complaints, one involving the description of an accused and the other involving remarks directed at labour unions.
