As difficult as the losses seem should a company like GM or CanWest go under, and undoubtedly the economic fallout would have an exponential impact, I think it's just prolonging the inevitable.

What's even more ridiculous is that Torstar has a stake in their main competition, The Globe and Mail. If that isn't hurting local news, then I don't see how CTV cutting morning news and the potential CanWest destruction will.
