One thought on “Monday: New Year’s Eve specials”

  1. What were CBC producers thinking? George Stroumboulopoulos has become Canada’s premier talk show host representing canadians from coast to coast to coast. What an insult to George to have ed the sock on the New Years eve special. Perhaps Toronto CBC producers could look beyond Toronto’s city limits for canadian talent. On behalf of Canadian’s, sorry George
