Jesus, I hope this doesn't mean he'll go into politics. We have enough children of ex-PMs in parliament as it is.

I doubt that Mulroney's leaving has anything to do with cut backs or his salary.  He has been at CTV about 20 years to the day and he wants to produce/write movies and TV.  At 45 would be the time to make this career change. Do it now before it is too late.  I always preferred him on ETalk and hosting things like Canadian Idol.  Not a fan of Your Morning, but it is not really Ben I dislike, rather the fluffy  giggle fest the show has become and the fact they do the weather endlessly all morning.  Anyway good luck to him and let's see what he comes up with in the years ahead, he may surprise people.  

In the 70s and 80s, Canada AM was the only game in town (barring US morning shows) so I believe their ratings were huge. I doubt Your Morning has the same following, particularly in urban markets that have local morning shows. I don't know if Ben Mulroney's decision to leave has anything to do with CTV wanting to cut costs for a show whose ratings don't justify marquee salaries and not offering a generous contract renewal, or if he's sick of the morning grind and comfortable enough to switch to something else while he's still young - or both - but regardless, I have a feeling that like Rogers at BT, CTV will be focussing more on content than on star hosts as Your Morning moves forward
