Guest: Amanda Watson, senior lecturer and sociologist at Simon Fraser University

It's been two weeks since journalist Lisa LaFlamme announced she'd been let go from her job as chief news anchor and senior editor at CTV National News.

The network said a "business decision" and "changing viewer habits" inspired the action, but many aren't buying it. We take a look at how LaFlamme's dismissal has sparked a national conversation on sexism and age discrimination in the media and other workplaces.
