This action will affect local news across the country as offices in Toronto, Calgary and Edmonton do the same and eliminate many of the daily and evening News programs that keep the geographically separated regions of Canada informed on local News and leave “viewers in Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver to get their local updates through Breakfast Television”.
