I cannot tell you how angry a posting like this makes me. Each report is six to eight pages long so, what? 1,200 to 1,700 words? Canadian journalists have been (woefully) paid the same amount for more than a generation, even while their American counterparts have enjoyed considerable raises: $1 a word. By all rights, this company should pay $1,200 to $1,700 for the production of each report. Instead, do you know what it's offering? $60 to $80.

That's just criminal.

People have to make a living.

I hope to hell that no one no one no one even bothers pressing a button to respond to this ad.
