h/t Justin Stayshyn
Via Lucile Barker of the Canuckistan Pink(o) Fringe:
Schizas: Just to get back to our previous quick quotes on Andrea Horwath. I think whore is the operative syllable there.
Oakley: Well, well let’s not take it that far
Schizas: What do you mean? She was bought.
Oakley: (in agreement) Alright, bought and paid for. Alright, it’s pejorative
Schizas: Alright, Sorry, I’ll take the hit.
Oakley: That’s alright.
Schizas: I’ll take the hit.
As Justin Stayshyn (h/t transcript) rightly notes, “Lou Schizas works for AM640 so this isn’t just some random guy calling Andrea a whore.”
Update: More details (& audio) from this newswire:
The exchange took place [this AM] on the The John Oakley Show during a panel with Buzz Hargrove and Catherine Swift, who apparently did not call Schizas out on his comment after Oakley’s soft chiding.
Schizas is a business correspondent and joins Oakley for his a “Happy Capitalism” segment.
We’ve left a message with the station for comment and awaiting their reply.
While that newswire awaits a response, feel free to contact the CBSC and CRTC if the spirit moves you.
Update 2: Official ONDP response:
June 12, 2013

AM640

25 Dockside Drive
Toronto, Ontario

During the John Oakley Show today Lou Schizas crossed the line when he called Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath a name that I won’t repeat.
We can disagree on political points. We can have heated debates and we at the NDP don’t shy away from a fight.
But let’s not forget respect.
Taras Natyshak
MPP Essex
