He's unbelievably sociopathic. Zero empathy, ever. Money money money. It's his only love. WHY the CBC gives him a platform is beyond me. Amanda Lang's 'zingers' are usually anything but. They are weak sauce and she's no match for the looney money grubber. There are few people on TV I HATE but he is one of them. I cannot watch that show. I watch CBC all day long until his show then the channel changes. He's insufferable. He's definitely one of the most despicable people on the planet. I'm fucking embarrassed that he's Canadian.
