My sources inside the CBC tell me that Krista Erickson returns to televised reporting in front of a national audience tonight on The National.
She’s said to be doing a piece on the Ottawa bus strike.
(Full disclosure: this is my site)

CBC has absolutely no credibility.
The previous CBC News editor John Cruickshank admitted that CBC had a bias problem… and then promptly quit to run the country's largest left activist rag, The Toronto Star.
After Erikson, expect lefty nutters like Judy Rebick, and Avi Lewis to be doing “unbiased” news reports soon about evil Conservatives.
End. CBC. Funding. Now.

I hope there are cuts to the CBC in the Budget tomorrow.

Interesting, at least she's not covering federal politics…
As for the site, I had a feeling it was yours. Has she contacted you for her piece?
Also, as a side note, do you have a running total of the signatures on the strike site? It'd be interesting to see.

Re your Tweet comment “Calling it a day.” For how long? 'Hope it's just temporary!
The CBC is a poor joke, something I wouldn't mind if I wasn't paying for it. While the rest of us tighten our belts and prioritize, the CBC lurches from unprincipled excess to unprincipled excess. They continue to squander our hard-earned tax dollars with no thought to their mandate of balance and fairness in reporting. Erikson should have been fired. Instead, she was sequestered in the CEEB backrooms and now reappears like a shiny new penny.
I have to say, however, that I'm-Peter-Mansbridge-and-You're-Not looked pretty spooked last night when reporting on the global financial meltdown. 'Can't say that I felt particularly sorry for him.

Where is the investigation into collusion between Mike Duffy and the PMO?
