Jacques,
I've discovered the entire City of Montreal seems to very very upset. CBC is now claiming she has not been fired – but is misleading everyone – with a form letter stating: She was an intermittent 'Daybreak Host' – not true; and they are STILL REFUSING to discuss the 'thousands of calls, emails, etc… with anyone.
They're claiming, employee – confidentiality – nonsense, that makes no sense – whatsoever.
I'm surprised you find her 'cold'. Rest assured to date: You are one of (2) TWO people – from the many thousands, who love her.. that have said – they're not fond of her. Given that: I'd say one need NOT be a rocket scientist – to agree that her popularity is not only – overwhelmingly evident, one MUST – question WHY ON EARTH – CBC – removed her!!
What troubles me (and many others) is – CBC has clearly placed Nancy Wood's ongoing career with CBC – into a NO WIN situation for her! And it's VERY OBVIOUS – they are making her life as miserable as possible. Now WHY IS THAT? One can only – conclude – they are FORCING her into a situation – where she just can 'take anymore' and will resign!!
That is: Illegal – NO? Here's an update: http://www.bullbullet.com

Bring back Wood.

Intelligent, interesting, depth. What else do you want?

Why don’t you give HER some publicity? Is it only for the boys? Was there an agenda here? If you want the programme to build ratings promote it. Let her build it.

Sad and disgusting,
BRING WOOD BACK

Shame on you. Wood is intelligent, dedicated and interesting. What else do you want?
Disgusting handling of her “departure”. We, who enjoyed her before she went to TV, were so excited upon her return. CBC’s condescension to CBC listeners is unbelievable. She was hired for the long term as you well know. Do not insult my intelligence by “interim hire”. I LISTENED to the interviews with CBC management when she was hired.

I am still so mad. My friends, loyal listeners to CBC are disgusted. No promo for Nancy. Billboard after Billboard for Finnerty but none for Nancy Wood. Why? What was the agenda? Because she is a woman? What the hell were you thinking of?

Now CBC listeneres feel betrayed. Management has simply screwed up and lied to us in the process.

There are alternatives. I will not be listening to Daybreak until she returns.

Bring her back – Apologize and publicize Daybreak with Nancy Wood. You owe it to her.

How do you management types sleep?

Bring back WOOD or you will see the demise of CBC radio. A bunch of stupid people work there who make decisions like that.

[...] reason Wood was pulled so prematurely was that the CBC was about to bring in a new regional boss – Pia Marquard – and didn't want her to be stained with this decision. That obviously backfired, and for good [...]

If, Ms. Marquard's – 'NO Response' Wall of Silence – to 1,000's of letters, emails and phone calls – vigorously protesting & decrying the – incredibly stupid and outrageous firing of Nancy Wood – reflects how “In Touch” she is going to be, with the community – she is working for: Then God Help Us All !! CBC Montreal's 2.5 million English speaking population – will have to demand their MONEY Back!
