Hilarious that Drex and CKNW is speaking to this issue when they’re one of the biggest mis-uers of interns.
I don’t consider anything about this story ‘Hilarious’. The fact Drex made the decision to become a voice for Andy Ferguson on CKNW shows the kind of character quality he has. It also appears in the interview, his boss was well aware of the proposed topic. That being the case, I take my hat off to Corus for addressing this very serious issue. It’s a shame it has to take the death of a good looking talented young man who not only touched the hearts of many, but had the talent recognized by those whose paths he crossed. No doubt, he was destined for great things. In the interview, his brother Matt added, but we’ll never know.
