Lisa LaFlamme’s Silver Lining

Lisa LaFlamme’s Silver Lining

Journalist Lisa LaFlamme has been called “Canada’s Katie Couric.” She was the familiar face coming into viewers’ homes and delivering the news each night, having worked for CTV for 35 years. But last summer, she became the face of female outrage when she was unceremoniously let go from her job anchoring the evening news. Her former employers denied ageism or sexism played a role in her firing, but viewers wondered if her choice to go gray during the pandemic - as so many women did - was the real cause. Katie and Lisa dive into the unequal pressures women face in the workforce, why we lionize men who’ve gone gray, the “isms” they’ve both faced as women in media, and so much more.
