CTV is on the ball
CTV must be having trouble filling their hour of news. Tonight they have a “report” from Paul Karwatsky about how, I kid you not, buses are crowded at rush-hour.
To fill a few minutes get the big story, he interviewed Marvin Rotrand outside the Snowdon metro station (I’d like to see Rotrand for once interviewed somewhere other than outside the Snowdon metro), and then took him for a ride on the 51 (“arguably one of their busiest lines” — Sorry, Paul, it’s not even in the top five). The conclusion? They need more money for more buses.
Really, is there no news happening right now?
