CBC is suspending the remaining season of the news program The Weekly following host Wendy Mesley's suspension for an "incident" during an editorial discussion about race. "In light of the current situation involving Wendy Mesley, we have suspended The Weekly for the remaining two episodes of this season," CBC spokesperson Chuck Thompson said in a statement on Friday. Thompson had said earlier this week that "senior management within CBC News were made aware of an incident involving Wendy Mesley" last Thursday. Mesley posted a statement on Twitter Tuesday saying she "used a word that should never be used." Neither Mesley nor Thompson clarified what word she used.
