The Hour exposes the CBC’s luxurious smoking rooms

Watch it… if you can bear to stomach the excessive money-wasting the Corp has done on its “plush sofas and ashtrays.” Great job by The Hour.

It’s funny I was over at the CBC building on Thursday and people were smoking outside in the storm. Maybe those smoking rooms are not so inviting after all.
