Pillow Blog: 5 CBC Personalities I Thought Would Go Down Before Evan Solomon

In the tradition of the Sei Shonagon's Pillow Book, here's a Pillow Blog: an observational list on some subject or another. In this case, five CBC personalities I thought would go down before Evan Solomon, with their absurd potential malfeasance:
  • Ian Hanomansing for stealing all that maple syrup that went missing in Quebec
  • Rex Murphy for drug smuggling
  • Peter Mansbridge for running a fight club behind his Stratford home
  • Wendy Mesley for importing knockoff designer bags
  • IdeaswithPaulKennedy for stealing copper wire from the recording studio
And yet, somehow, it's Evan Solomon for making art deals on the side. The code names are a fun touch though, "the Guv" for Mark Carney, and "Anka" for Jim Balsillie. If I ever buy art from a CBC host, I want my code name to be "El Camino" and the host to be either Steven or Chris, but not both. Anyway, this whole affair is doing a great deal to restore my interest in Evan Solomon, an interest formerly drained by nearly every episode of Power and Politics I ever tried to watch.
