She also accused the organization of "gooning" for right wing darling Jordan Peterson.  Gooning is apparently a term for chronic masturbation. 
 

Honestly, I have to give her points for teaching me a new vulgarity. I'll try to work it into my vocabulary. 
 

When she left the radio she gave a brief description of some of the vile emails and social media posts she endured.
She said the last straw was when some of the hate messages involved stalking and killing her children.
In light of that the things she posted on X about these far right haters was mild.
 

I prefer to keep things as non-political as possible here, which may be a losing battle. But this one is too good to resist. 

I was listening to Oakley while out shopping this afternoon and he brought up "this Supriya woman" on his show. At one point, he stopped and said, "didn't she use to work here?" To which his producer Michael Downey responded in all seriousness, "Yeah, but I don't know what she did."

I almost got into an accident, I was laughing so hard. I'm not sure when Downey joined the station, but there's not a single question in my mind that Oakley - who used to do the morning show at 640 - knew exactly what she did when she was with Corus. But confirming that might have meant bringing up the name Mike Stafford and entailing a long and uncomfortable explanation, so he went with an unbelievable answer instead.

Pretty disingenuous if you ask me, but not surprising!

As for the story, Joe Warmington of the Toronto Sun was on a guest and discussed his column in the Toronto Sun, which centered on this issue. You can read it here. 

There's no obligation to read anything, but I put up the link in case people had no idea where all this originated, and so it's not out of the blue. Well, except the blue of the link you didn't click on! (Red actually, but that's the default Boardhost colour!)

Considering the never-ending barrage of anti-Trudeau whining, combined with blaming our prime minister for worldwide inflation, and every other ill imaginable, perhaps the PMO is letting off some steam through Supriya.

Or maybe they'll rein her in. We'll know soon enough.

I doubt Matt Gurney, Mike Stafford, or 640 management consider her 'Super'.

They’ve all seemed happy with a 1 share though.

Did either of the 5pm political shows cover this? I would bet not. 

Watching the human race behave the way it does currently, I'm doubtful it will remain in vogue.
