In a complaint filed with the Canadian Human Rights Commission on Wednesday, Patricia Jaggernauth, a weather specialist, remote reporter and co-host for the Bell-owned news channel CP24, describes being repeatedly passed over for promotions and earning less than a living wage.
Jaggernauth says she watched as white colleagues, often newer ones, made it higher up the corporate ladder, while she wasn't even offered a contract — something she attributes to the fact that she is a racialized woman. In an email to CBC News, a Bell Media spokesperson said, "We do not comment on matters involving current or former staff members, but can confirm that Bell Media takes allegations of any potential discrimination very seriously, and are committed to a safe, inclusive, and respectful work environment where employees can thrive.
This past summer, management moved to limit that ability, blocking her from performing any paid activities outside of the company without management approval, according to her formal complaint. The rule was originally created in 2019 when Bell employees unionized, but was never enforced until this year, she says.
In 2019, Jaggernauth says she contracted a virus and was hospitalized after "years of long days, short turnarounds, lengthy work stretches and being told to work for weeks upon weeks, non-stop."After a three-month unpaid sick leave, she says she pleaded with Bell for more stability.
"I'm going to cry. Oh my God," says in the segment, tearing up. "In this industry what I've found is you get to be in the bright lights, you know, here you have this amazing career and people think you're a multi-millionaire, you're so lucky, but do you want to put my shoes on guys?"The complaint says the treatment Jaggernauth faced led her to suffer 'a breakdown' during Bell Let's Talk Day while live on the air.
Bell has been getting away with this horrendous treatment of peeps for years.Put them in there place PJ wr all got your back.Your a Canadian Treasure
Go het them PJ they a low class outfit at best
I just stumbled on this. I’ve watched CP24 for a long time and always wondered why you weren’t moving up from the weather segment(I though it was personal choice). I’m so sorry to hear this. Keep fighting!!!!! Patricia_J
Why did she not go to another media company for a job? If she’s that talented and I’m not saying she isn’t go to another corporation!
You guys need to investigate your CBC Sports department.. same type of activities goes on in your building.
shanifanasser MeToo TorontoMet! Institutions that engage in discrimination, harassment, anti racism and misogynoir behaviors and hide behind equality language and performative actions. Your time is up! The world 🌎 is watching.
Good luck PJ. I always loved your casts. I am sure you will do well and hope you give Bell Hell...
BellMediaPR wow y'all really hate women, don't you?
So wait, why wait 11 years? could this be a shakedown?
this is wrong regardless she relied on the ability to take on other jobs to supplement her income This past summer, management moved to limit that ability, blocking her from performing any paid activities outside of the company without management approval,
sunlorrie Way back in 1975's male-dominated, macho hotel industry in NZ, my most successful turnaround went from 45 to 110+ staff in 18 months Five of my top six people were women... ... and the guy was gay. That was more than 55 years ago. Didn't Bell recently dump LisaLaFlamme_
PJ was probably asked to tone it down (like a lot) and that wouldn't fit the gig

What is a weather specialist?
sunlorrie Against men and white ppl.
Who is she?
sunlorrie There are white people on CP24 ? Where? I actually never see someone who looks like me on GTA television 🙄🙄🙄🙄
sunlorrie One more ism and she would have hit for the cycle
sunlorrie Of course .... Plays the race card for sympathy.
CTV is so racist that they have two black anchors on their 6 pm news here in Toronto.
This is going to fail horribly. Just look at her Instagram. How do you promote someone who posts inappropriate content barely dressed and clearly self centred. Plus, she seems pretty happy traveling all around the world. 🤷🏼♂️
kanyewest
Cha ching!
I stand with Patricia_J She was very lively and one of the most fashionable TV personalities EVER. BellMediaPR you all dropped the damn ball.
I like her, but find another place to work. Why work somewhere for 10 years if you have such issues. No one forced her to work there. The racist and women card are being played.
YA YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR SUFFERING
This 'systemic pattern' of racism, sexism and discrimination' has to STOP, it is so deceptive via approaches that unfortunately; by the time some of our own realized the entrapped; seeking psychological help becomes the standards within HR.
Bell start listening
YourBig_Smile_PJ. StayStrongPJ.
Speak on it!
BellLetsTalk systematic failures …
BellLetsTalk systematic failures …
I could not tolerate her weather reports. They were a hot mess. She was all over the map, so to speak, and we she finally stopped babbling, I still had no idea about the weather. She's probably more suited to fashion/lifestyle but NOT weather. Good luck to her.
Bell has a history of abuse, at all levels. Check the level of attrition when it comes to hiring. Bell needs to be placed back as a Crown Corporation.
birgitomo It would appear that Bell Media has serious issues, particularly with women. Someone needs to clean house!
Jah kno mi haffi guh change back services to Rogers. Hold firm empress better aguh come. Bell really have a problem with woman. I have been hearing this from the 90s from woman whom said they were let go or not promoted because they didn't play the corporate game👀
Glad I can now turn on CP24 without seeing those shark teeth. I only watch that leftist news once every 2 weeks anyway.
I think Bell media was a problem with women and diversity period.
All the best !
Interesting comments about Patricia Jaggernauth - the tweets sound like embittered ne’er-do- wells - better not say anything bad about the Queen
birgitomo You've got my vote Patricia!!!!
where's scooperooper?
Emmy award winning.....really...why would she put that on her profile....last time I checked AMERICAN Emma's aren't given out to part-time weather girls....sad she has to make up this stuff
Bell media is burning to the ground...first Laflamme and now PJ. good for her speaking out.
You're employed at the most diverse station in Canada, and it has been that way for literally thirty years. There's absolutely no indication your status had anything to do with race, and you've provided zero evidence. Hey make it rain, right? Cry racism at every turn.
LOVED her energy and enthusiasm. A bright spot i looked forward to in every newscast. How do they keep getting it so wrong?
charlesadler bellletstalk
Great presenter, in this clip. My first time seeing her on camera. Bell is telephone/cable/internet company, to me. Corp takeover of media made it less about people, more about profit. notanewsflash
Just another minority throwing cards to get out of a ticket, deflect accountability, help them deal with their insecurities, and give them a boost to help them compete with other more competent people.
Canada needs more people to stand up against media gods.
Went to SenecaCollege with Patricia_J, she’s as good as it gets! Shame on you Bell Media! Equality
Bell should not be allowed to have any ownership or affiliation with general media. Too much power and influence.
Hard to tell id it’s wokeism or just reality
Patricia was always energetic on TV, loved seeing her Weather reports on CP24 and thought she was just 'happy' all the time. Had no idea you were mistreated by your employer. Support you!!
Entitled as hell. Holy. Shes horrible. Shes super annoying. Imagine her act for an hour. They would lose viewers. Ive had so many newer people promoted ahead of me at work. Theyre more skilled. THAT IS LIFE.
Patricia, we strongly support you (and Lisa LaFlame). More reasons to stop watching CTV and supporting their sponsors.
Hope she wins!
11 years and no offers....hmmm could talent be the issue?
Compelling, good on her for asserting her rights standing up for her. Such a corrupt world. You're much too good for them
Seriously? With Bakari Savage, Shanelle Kaul, Jennifer Xing, etc etc?
The rewards of 'employment equity'...you hire women and minorities...they thank you by calling you misogynist and racist and try to sue you for everything you've got. 🤣🤣🤣 🤡🌎
Bells sucks and so does its news subsidiary
Good that she brought the issue up rather than shying away.
Trudeau and another race hustler I assume.
She just wasn't very good at the job. They kept her on far longer than they should have - she wasn't professional and frankly pretty annoying.
You are fantastic and better get offered a position somewhere good luck wherever you go we want to follow you. We love your enthusiasm!!!
'Bell Media says it takes allegations of discrimination ‘very seriously’' No they don't. But Howard Levitt's team will get Bell's attention.
Best weather reporter ever.
Don't know much about her. Is she trans? Not in the same league as Lisa.
Let me get this...2 days a week for 11 years...seems to me like she had lots of money for clothes jewelry and hair weaves....must have been making a ton of money🤔🤔
Maybe she just sucked at her job. This suit is weak. Always playing the victim card. This shit has to stop
BellLetsTalk BellMediaPR
I hope she gets back on TV. She is a beautiful bright light of optimism. The world needs more Patricia Jaggernauth.
This clown?
What a load of crap, these accusations will never end!! Everyone’s looking for a easy way out. How about just do your job and be happy you have one, as there’s a lot of people that aren’t as fortunate as you!!!
Next Bell let’s talk we should get a therapist for Bell.
Yes she really looks like she's suffering. Poor thing.
shanifanasser Bell Media is run by a group of 100% incompetent managers. They are looking only after their own interest. In addition they have a hidden understanding of racism. Patricia was always very good and full of energy and smiles. Look at the anchors and presenters they have on CP24.
well...if we were all smart, we'd boycott BellMedia ...I did this 20+ years ago AND based on sheer principle that I was being GOUGED on pricing..now is an ever stronger point for everyone to do so
bellletstalktomyhand
Sounds like the car business....
Starts with BCE!
You're just simply not good enough. When you do the weather, or any other reporting you talk over your colleagues and never listen. In other words you have a big mouth and her poor listener. Try another Channel
Too many of these cases are complete BS.
She is like a muppet.The only position for her was the weather. She does not have the poise to do the anchor kind of job. Constantly talks over others. Should have stayed with just doing the weather. You know, the job she was hired to do.
She's just looking for public outcry to get attention. Instead of taking it to her superiors, she goes crying to lawyers and public opinion? You probably didn't get the job you wanted because you aren't that good to begin with.
OPPRESSION OLYMPICS call the wambulance whiner
Hope she loses.
BellLetsTalk
This needs to be discussed. So many of us deal with this and our experiences ignored. The problem is that victims need to prove its racism to those who have never experienced it and who wrote the criteria that it's legally defined by.
The Media guilty of what it accuses others of...anyone surprised, Im not
Good for you sis 👏🏾
Equity hire demands equality
jamiljivani Does she have any proof that Bell knowingly discriminated against her? I’m not calling her a liar but never should anyone throw around accusations of that type without the evidence to support it. MeToo taught the world that you can not just believe the women.
when in doubt
Bell is a super disgusting company. They put my friend who worked for 2 years from home on unpaid leave because he felt he should make his own medical decisions. They can suck it!
Apparently the BellMediaPR machine is dysfunctional and loaded with systemic racism. Their Let’s Talk Mental Health is all talk and no action and certainly not accessible to Bell employees; what a dumpster fire shite show.
PJ was a good addition to the team. BellMediaPR seems to be on a rampage against any minority they can find. I guess Rogers is going to snap her up too? Kinda feeling Bell upper management works for Rogers at this point...
jamiljivani Uh oh. Bell, let’s talk!
I’m sure most Torontonians, have asked, how come Patricia_J doesn’t have her own show or is not a regular anchor? What we all suspected has now been confirmed. imwithpattij
You go girl. I worked for Bell when it was the old boys club.
sorry she was not that good
Maybe the issue was her, and her flagrant narcissism. The issues could have been that she just wasn't the right fit for the job, not any of the serious allegations that she's claiming. I don't know of a single person that enjoyed seeing her on CP 24.
I like Patricia but did I see her hosting news, no. I am surprised she wasn't fulltime. People can't live on part time wages. I would have loved her on breakfast cp24 with George! Hopefully someone gets her on a morning show with such an upbeat vibe.
How can a company restrict someone from having another job if they will not give her full time employment?
11 years part-time...duh...could have looked for a fulltime job....
When your not good at your job, this is the outcome .
I have stopped watching CTV National news because of the firing of LisaLaFlamme_ … now with this … I might just stop watching cp24 as well .. such toxic environment that I do not want to support. Thank You Patricia_J for sharing ❤️
I don’t know Patricia Jaggernauth but, speaking as a pro broadcaster, I thought she really added something to an otherwise bland ‘newswheel’ operation where it seems many of the mainstays can’t even speak in cogent sentences. I hope we see her soon in a new environment.
You will be so missed in our home. I have often wondered why Bell uses you so limitedly. Love you P.J. Go get Bell. We have boycotted since Lisa was forced out!
I hope your voice is heard. And not just by your employer.
Forty_hs
Unlike the CBC, who will hire almost anyone, Bell Media obviously has certain criteria that their on air personalities must meet. PJ's spots were unwatchable, she was just too over the top for most people.
Shadeinthesix
I've heard quite a few women being mistreated and neglected by Bell. More surprised why nothing has been done to the company.
Colour me shocked. Bell is a horrid corporation.
His is how the Canadian media companies treat many of their employees. This is not a race issue, it's simply these companies pretend they care about anyone. They are phonies.
You go sista! 🙌🏿
Filing a lawsuit for being poor at your job?!
You mean smiling for the camera and flashing cleavage won't make me CEO?
She’s not very good on air with a phony delivery. Maybe Bell realized this and didn’t want her to do more.
Anyone can drop a lawsuit and if it contains human rights violations ALLEGATIONS then holy shit obviously the plaintiff is 💯 the victim? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 prove it
I was going to make a millennials are soft comment but look up bell media executives list! It’s whiter than a teeth in a toothpaste commercial. As a white male I don’t really care but Bells brutal Indian customer service agents and fraudulent charges makes me think she’s right!
Blessings
BLESSINGS
Found her to be like an animated cartoon character...not professional..maybe she just Wasn't suitable...ever think of that
AdamWylde does bell media have pattern of sexism and racism? Can’t wait to have a 30 minute segment on why everyone at bell needs to resign
ServingOttawa Finally! Bell, let's talk ... about you!
Annoying! I am glad I don’t have to see her on CP24 anymore. Bell is garboooosh too.
Just a second...Patricia claims that she was forced to work 'WEEKS STRAIGHT' at CP24 without a break. I was a fan of PJ during her run at CP24, and from what I saw she worked WEEKENDS only... It was rare to see her doing a weekday weather forecast...HMM?
You'd have to ask yourself why then was THIS excellent CP24 on-air newscaster, Kelly Linehan passed over and cut loose from the network? Perhaps CP24 just makes BAD decisions on the whole! Do some digging CBC and get back to us! We miss you Kelly!
Did you see her on YouTube Shes too extravagant. All that Channel Gucci bags garbage. I dont think Bell does discrimination. I mean they promoted Gay Muslim Omar Sachedina.
Looking for attention y’all.
So they only hired her because of her colour - I agree that’s racist! Bell
1) I think PJ is great at what she does 2) CP24 is practically the UN, with the extreme minority being white, the racism cry looks weak.
I'm so proud of you. Be strong. Women shouldn't be treated like this...thanks to you it will hopefully change.
This is why u never really knows what goes on behind the cameras
Bell is not an employer that is empathetic or has integrity.
Blacks need to stop behaving like they are the entertainment for their yt coworkers. Yts don't respect you already so why reduce yourself to being played. This is not just most Caribbean but also africans. Stop Kiking in their faces thinking you will be their favorite plaything.
Good on her! I hope she emerges victorious, because it's about time that Bell faces the music.
They made her an easy target & thought they could get more friendly with her because she was easy breezy PJ. Don't get too friendly with yt folks, they act like they care but they are looking for weaknesses.blks in 🇨🇦prefer trusting yts over their own because the want better jobs
AnnRoll_ Token hire surprised to find out she's a Token hire. Lol
She was the most horrible TV personality that Toronto, in fact Ontario has ever seen.
The grievance industry is booming.
Ummmh..... Maybe because you pranced around like a Drag Race tranny on Reconciliation Day, during a devastating hurricane, etc.? Everyone, look at my prom dress! Now, let's cry racism and cash in....
Or, to put it another way, I buy a Lotto Max ticket with a hope of a great win. When I do not win, it is not a human rights issue.
Bell let’s talk
She is very irritating to watch. Dont care!
Shameful BellMediaPR if this is accurate. Melling has now been named twice re: women & women of colour being treated appallingly. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. If these things have happened to 2, then it’s very likely that similar has happened to others. dowhatisright
I can appreciate chasing your dream but after a while....move on. If you aren't respected or making a living...why stick around?
Facts
She was disaster and had to turn her off as quick as I could. Glad she’s gone. So overly dramatic all the time. Annoying!!!
Hurry call the UN, we need an emergency meeting of the security council.
Good Job Patricia. Love and power to you We support u in this fight
Don’t know how she wasn’t well paid because the amount of Gucci, Chanel, the enormous rock on her finger and all the lavish trips…. 🤷🏻♀️
Wow😳
she became a household name in GTA bc of Bell Media. I'm sure she can make money independently influencing etc. The TV/Radio business is very tough lots and lots of casualties. The human rights lawsuits are such nonsense.
Patricia we noticed you, you were there all the time when we needed a boost of serotonin. You’re fighting the right fight!
She’s fake through and through
Hahah.
Former cast member, Brandon Gomez tried to warn her. The media world has a lot of favoritism
Never heard of her so I watched one clip of her and guess what? She was passed up for promotion because she is absolutely dreadful - CASE CLOSED!!!
Sounds like this was not a great work situation for her. Why put up with the same employer for 11 years?
She wasn’t good at her job. Sorry.
Good for her stand up to her rights! 👏
I’ve never seen more minorities work for a new station then CP 24 lol
Well known? She was B rated at best.
Reading this story and I see that Michael Melling’s name has popped up again. What ever happened to the independent investigation regarding Michael Melling’s involvement in Lisa LaFlamme’s firing. It’s been more than 5 weeks since he went on “leave.”
Shameful to learn how BellMediaPR Bell_LetsTalk continues to treat its employees! 🤮🤮🤮
Nice going. She was my favorite weather person on TV. Pleasant and professional. I'm guessing some women were jealous of her beauty and sex appeal? Just a guess...
She hit them all
I'm gonna miss that rocket!
We wish Patricia the very best, she wins her suit & takes them to the cleaners.Nobody deserves to be treated like this, especially talented trailblazers like Patricia & Lisa.
JesseBrown It is like this in so many industries. But Bell Media is particularly egregious. No contract or security after 11 years on-air? Terrible. Is that Michael Melling guy fired yet?
2 those talking sh*t about Patricia & how she would be a cleaner or a nobody w/o this position. I went 2 school w/ her. She's 1 of the hardest working people. She got 2 where she is by pure hard work. Not surprised by Bell or those putting her down. Jealous, much?
This takes a lot of courage but, you have my unwavering support all the way! 🥊
Contract wasn't going to be renewed so shoot for the moon on exit money...
Shyt been happening for decades now! Promotions and many other shyt! They should also take a look into telus too! The amount of shyt I’ve heard from former employees of mental harassment and so on is ridiculous!
Prices for bell bout to go up
Very proud of her ! She was an amazing voice in the morning yet was always given less opportunity than her less experienced colleagues… no one wants to say colour possibly has a factor to play into this .. but I am sure it does
Whoever runs HR for Bell Media should be next on firing line
I was never a fan of hers, only because she rambled on too much at times. But, having said that, for Bell to restrict her abilities to earn a living outside of Bell, while only offering her 2 days a week of guaranteed income, that's absurd. You can't treat people that poorly
JAGGERNAUTH PUNCH!
Lol everyone knows you can't fire a black person without it becoming a racist story and lawsuit Bell media deserve this.
Disgusting. Good for you Patricia_J
I’m not clear how exploiting a racialized woman equates to dismissing the most senior journalist at the network. We don’t know why Ms LaFlamme was let go, but she obviously got all the opportunities Ms Jaggernauth states she was denied during her career.
Maybe just not that good?
Just after a quick buck using the race card !
That’s what equity brings in
Play the ace card !
Yup. I worked for them they always told me your hair is really curly can you straighten it out. Then my dad was terminal they denied me my family leave.
Used to love watching Breakfast TV. One by one all the good ones are gone. Must be a hellish employer.
She could be a B and hard to work with. That is possible.
I pray to God there's nothing said about race because it's going to get blown up to huge proportions that everyone's Fed up of listening to about any time of black personality is doing anything in the media first thing they blame is racism we're all Fed up of hearing about it
Launchinga phoney lawsuit because you have money problems is fraud. 11 years at the job she should have figured things out way before that.
BellMediaPR Bell - this is disgusting and worse than bon appetite! Shame on you b/c on TV it looks like she was a valued member of the team but you not only wouldn't hire her full time & denied her the ability to make money to survive? So this is how Bell treats black women?
Everyone is oppressed in a liberal government lol
That’s terrible, you would think at a minimum they would offer you a full time position after all those years!! It takes a lot of courage to tell your story, wish you the best I’m sure you will do great things.
CP24 has been against minority group. See the photo of what they did at the Breakfast show.
sYsTeMiC pAtTeRn oF rAcIsM aNn dIsCrImInAtIoN
One of my favourite ppl CP24. Rooting for u, Patricia!
Bell's 'Let's Talk' is just like wokeism. Fake AF.
What happens when kids aren’t allowed to lose. Man has our society F’d up. Give out 1st place medals again. Jeezus 🏅
I'm elated that she is leaving. Hearing her give the weather was a non-stop blathering experience. I often wondered if and when she would even take a breath. So exhausting to listen to the weather forecast she was giving would get lost in the incessant jabber.
Enough...please
Seems like a tough one on the surface. CP24 on air staff is probably the most diverse you'll ever see. Pure shite mind you, but very diverse.
Who cares
Racism can turn green….. it’s called greed.
downtownrob88 No surprise there. They have evolved into Conservative TV and this behaviour fits right in.
As an ex TSN freelancer, the freelance experience is the same across BellMediaPR. I could never imagine being a freelancer, while also a woman of colour. Bell Media sucks your soul from you, it’s a disgusting place to work.
She was the only good thing about CP24, good for her, fighting back
She is a very good broadcaster, so what she is saying has a lot of merit. Bell Media fails again
Crying racism today is the new 'boy who cried wolf'. Not everything that happens to a black person is due to racism. This mindset has gone beyond ridiculous at this point.
You’re amazing and of course you will persevere you’re strong and tenacious!!! Fuk Bell
The complaints are that they wanted her to work and wanted a break? I saw photos of her on vacations…. Luxurious places. So could not pay her that badly?!?!
Sorry, nut she's bloody awful on air. I channel the channel rather than listen to her blathering.
How much was she getting paid in comparison to the others?
Totally deserved to replace Laflamme.
So who’s next? Stephanie Smyth, or maybe Mika Midolo. How about Chris Potter. Bell is a great abuser. CP24 is like a bullpen for people trying to get a real position. Too bad they have no administration support. I think they do great work. Shame about PJ.
I’m a big fan and I wish That she would’ve used her brains and talents to get something bigger then go this route
If you need to be described as “well known” then you’re not that. CBC is so incompetent.
I love how some people want to blame others for being substandard. CityTV has to be the most diverse channel in Ontario…if you can excel in that market, it’s not discrimination, it’s lack of talent. Woke!!!!!!!
More of this? The whole world is a victim now.
BellLetsTalk about what a sham your annual mental health day is.....
Patricia is one of the most talented and likeable personalities on CP24. I was often wondering why she wasn’t offered a job when Pooja and Gurdeep left. Now I know
She's a wonderful woman with great presence. All the best Ms Jaggernauth!
Her work arrangement does seem like a crappy deal. But if they take away her right to freelance to supplementary income because of the low hours, I’d take them to court too. Also this has nothing to do with Lisa LaFlamme.
I have watched you on TV. You have such a sunny personality. Stay strong. Take care of yourself. Stay healthy.
As a viewer, I have noticed that too. Unfortunately,a person who speaks out risks loosing everything.
These attitudes were endemic to every media and advertising company I ever worked for.
Very sad to to hear you have had to deal with this kind of stuff. Not Bell media’s first time. Stay strong, you are loved by many. ❤️👍
Never heard of her/she
Maybe she didn't get promoted because ppl dont care for her overdramatic delivery. Isn't that possible, without automatically assuming race? It's obvious to anyone with eyes, CP24 is very diverse. Now her bf is here calling people racists cause they disagree. Comical and pathetic
The trifecta of victim culture. The only ones safe to fire these days are white males.
11 years without a full-time job? That says a lot about Bell Canada.
I really wish she would stop talking to the audience like we’re all in kindergarten. Other than that, she’s okay.
new levels new devils u kno how it go .
BellLetsTalk
Well of course.
I believe her, wholeheartedly!
Sometimes people are just not good enough at their jobs. it's hard at accept.
They still need to FireMichaelMelling…but again Bell Media investigation will find nothing wrong…the world we live in…:(((
StefanM411 What a load of crap,👎
Years of working weekends!! Come on you and how many people who work for police, fire, ambulance, hospital, interpreters.I could go on. My youngest works freelance w/some contract work and can work upwards of 60 to 70 hrs a week and has for years. 2 days and benefits..lucky.
Looking for a payday
Oh please, give me a fucking break 😂😂😂
I really like here. She is always so happy and upbeat. Another station will pick her up fast.
Didn’t get promoted?🤷🏻♂️
Good for her! I've always wondered why she never appeared as a regular prime time regular. I assumed she didn't want to. Bell Media may need to clean up their act.
That's so sad to read. Patricia is definitely one of the C24 well known employees! So shocked to read she is a freelancer! That's surprising because she's worked there for so long! Props to Patricia for speaking up.
As a longtime failure myself, what comes to mind is that if an 11 year broadcaster in Canada's largest market cannot find a job that pays a living wage, either the market is a bad one in which to work or she should consider she is never going to.
Wait yet well known...how does that line with - 'A well-known Toronto television personality has filed a human rights complaint against Bell Media, alleging 'a systemic pattern' of racism, sexism and discrimination '
Is that what we call talentless now?
Hockey Canada may be looking for a Media Spokesperson. There you go. Your problem solved.😆
Holy crap that sounds awful. I will miss her on cp 24
BellLetsTalkMyFoot
lindahaslett Good for you!
Breaking News....no one cares about this money grabbing lawsuit.
I am sure at lot of this is just PURE jealousy on their part! You seem to be well liked and very popular with your viewers and likely in your own personal life!! Stay strong!! You shall prevail!! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪
Yup Bell owns CTV, there ya go!
Getting out of hand now
Good for her. Way to go Patricia...long time coming!
everyone's a victim
She is a babe
I hope she wins her case.
Her name is Patricia Jaggernauth.
This is too funny.
Dont get that raise scream racism
Who is she?…not that well known, but she’s obviously on someone’s payroll
There are alot of 'ism' missing from her list to get the motherload.
She is a terrible broadcaster, turn the TV off the minute she comes on. Probably why she has never gotten very far, but also, it's Bell, so her claims are probably also correct.
It's like that every where. Most women are afraid to speak up. I don't blame them. Thet are treated like 2nd class citizens. You look at some foreign countries how they treat women, India, Iran now with the women fighting bad. You look at Japanese soldiers during the war.
Damn, that race card is quick to be whipped out whenever they don't get their way. CP24 is about a diverse as you can get.
I think cbc news is guilty of racism as well ! Bell media and bell itself is a horrific place to work as culture is very hostile and definitely didn’t see the racism thing but I do believe it would happen in that culture !
I agree some black people are discriminated against but Patricia is not an example. Struggling to put “gas in the tank”. Tank of what? The airplane she uses to travel multiple times a year? 😂 She was not host material, that’s not racism. Exploiting wokeness to make a buck,sad.
Love you Patricia, wish you all the best. You were such a bright light at cp24. Can't wait to see you come out of this stronger and on top of this bell media crap!
PJ - wipe away those tears. It's your time to shine. God's got something better waiting around the corner, just for you.
BellLetsTalk
B-b-but - I thought Bell Media was Woke? 🤔
I will always take the side of someone making such an allegation over a heartless fucking corp. that only cares about profits and doesn't give a fuck about its employees. Read the article- her beef seems pretty legit to me- and btw before passing judgment lets get the whole story
My parents are in love with Patricia. They talk about her like she is a personal friend because she makes the weather come alive for them. I’m so sorry she has been treated with such disrespect by BellMediaPR.
LeahGazan Bell, let’s talk about your ongoing employee abuses.
Never thought she was that great a tv personality. If she suffered some rights violations, all the power to her
Another delta hotel falling to the wayside. Merit is so outdated.
That's the next level. Claim racism because they weren't promoted.
Good for her! 👏🏽👏🏽
Could there be a pattern BellMediaPR But I'm sure Bell's internal review will find nothing. Can't find what you're trying to hide.🙄Good for Jaggernauth for taking action. 👏
Ahahahahahaha ....the pendulum is starting to swing....the left eats itself This is what happens when politicians/businesses push the “everyone is a racist misogynist colonizer” BS ...ppl will hold you accountable to your impossible to achieve gaslighting standards
Sounds about right for Bell.
This extortion scheme is as stupid as it is obvious. Any lawyer advancing her claim should have their license revoked. But I’m sure she’ll collect a payout because Bell has to pretend like they care about this crap.
Good for her 👏🏼
Of course she has.
