Open letter to Bell says LaFlamme ousting shows sexism, ageism women face at workAn open letter signed by a long list of Canadian luminaries is taking aim at Bell Media's abrupt dismissal of Lisa LaFlamme as anchor of the company's flagship newscast. It said LaFlamme's dismissal has destroyed trust in Bell Media and questions how the company will "make things right." Bell Media did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the letter. The open letter is part of the backlash that has engulfed Bell Media since LaFlamme's dismissal earlier this month. Its publication came a day after Bell Media executive Michael Melling took a leave from his job amid the ongoing fallout.
