Okay, maybe not surprising. But discouraging.



After News Anchor’s Long Career, She Found Herself Focus of the Story
Lisa LaFlamme was dismissed after a decades-long TV career, not long after she stopped dyeing her hair, setting off debates across Canada about sexism, ageism and going gray.

Her departure set off multifaceted debates across Canada, especially after The Globe and Mail newspaper reported it may have been linked to Ms. LaFlamme’s hair — which she had chosen to let go gray during the pandemic when hair salons and other businesses shut down. The network’s owner, Bell Media, which denied that “age, gender and gray hair” had been factors, named a 39-year-old male correspondent, Omar Sachedina, as her successor.

I thought that gray hair became trendy.

While it may have once been considered something to cover up, gray hair has become a trend unto itself. Younger women are even choosing to dye their hair a silvery shade—so if you've gone gray naturally, you're already chicer than you think.

Gray hair (or what the kids call platinum ) IS trendy. More to this story.

I find this hard to believe that they fired her for this. She looks stunning...... what on earth is the problem? Her hair is conservative and stylish. She is dressed in a conservative, professional looking outfit.

I should add that I have boycotted Bell Media's news broadcast since the dismissal of beloved former CTV journalist Lisa because I know it was potentially related to her grey tresses.

She was brave enough to do it on national TV, ......this is my way of showing support.

Gray hair is trendy if you're 20 and "cute" and purposely dye your hair gray. If you're older, and maybe not-so-cute, and it's going gray naturally, then it's frumpy. It's just like glasses-- if you wear fake ones for "fashion," they're cute. If you wear them because you actually need them, they're unattractive.
