> They aren't government employees though. They all bill the same insurance That sounds like using contractors to skirt employment laws for public servants. > Because it's more than just "entertainment". sitcoms that end up on netflix? > In professional sports, it's common for some teams to advertise themselves as feeder teams for the big names. The pitch is "Join us and see where you could end up one day." Again, what does that tells us about those who join those teams but can't transfer out? They weren't good enough for the real teams. Could you picture Google bragging about their interns going to Apple or Tesla?

> That sounds like using contractors to skirt employment laws for public servants. Not sure which employment laws are being skirted here but whatevs. Defence companies typically also have the same buyers as healthcare providers - governments. Unlike healthcare providers, they're even more limited in who they can sell to. So whatever you're saying applies to them too. > sitcoms that end up on netflix? First off, cultural exports are a good thing to have. But also, the CBC does other valuable work. Other people in this thread have also explained this to you but it seems like your mind is made up, so I won't bother. > They weren't good enough for the real teams. Yeah maybe, so what? No shame in that; everyone's gotta work somewhere. You're also ruling out people who are there for personal reasons, or because they genuinely like the place, or they don't have any "higher" aims. > Could you picture Google bragging about their interns going to Apple or Tesla? Last time I checked, Apple or Tesla (or Google) weren't planning to sell liquor in Ontario. They're not competitors.

  > Yeah maybe, so what? No shame in that; everyone's gotta work somewhere. You're also ruling out people who are there for personal reasons, or because they genuinely like the place, or they don't have any "higher" aims. No shame indeed. It's just weird that they brag about their best interns leaving for better companies. Usually, the point of having internships is to attract and retain talent. > Last time I checked, Apple or Tesla (or Google) weren't planning to sell liquor in Ontario. They're not competitors. They are when it comes to tech hiring. By their own admission, they hire from the same pool.
