As intro'd in the above linked story, last week the Ontario Ministry of Labour ruled that unpaid internships, as practiced by Toronto Life and The Walrus magazines, constitute a violation of provincial labour laws which forbid full-time work without pay. (Excellent.)

The two debaters in the Globe story are recent journalistic interns: Kaleigh Rogers and Andrew Lovesey.

Okay, enough for now; I have to get back to work here at home....
