Lisa LaFlamme got fired after 35 years at the major commercial network CTV and eleven years anchoring Canada's top-rated newscast (which is at 11 p.m. instead of the dinner hour)--she was told her contract was not being renewed at the end of June and then told not to say anything until this week--and instead of a formal sendoff like her veteran predecessor Lloyd Robertson (inspiration for "SCTV"''s "Floyd Robertson" and "Count Floyd," even though the real Robertson never hosted horror movies), she left a goodbye on Twitter from her home--the newsroom is not very happy at the current head of the news department, who seems to have a problem with outspoken women and 58-year-old-women on TV:
