CUSA voted on Monday to terminate support for Shinerama, which raises money for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, because the disease "has been recently revealed to only affect white people, and primarily men.".
Since then the fallout has been immense. The radio and news programs in town have been covering this story nonstop. The story has legs nationally, with print and TV media giving the story fairly extensive coverage. CUSA is (rightly) being lambasted across the country.
Just some of the coverage:
