You're missing the point.  It's NOT that a diversified person was picked - Ian Hanomansing has been reading the news for a while, so he alone would have been perfectly qualified.

But why four anchors?  And why the nauseating nod to uber-political-correctednesss by trying to cover all bases by picking a French woman, an Anglo, an east Asian, and a south Asian (oops forgot the black person, forgot the arabic person, forgot the aboriginal... etc. etc).

It's "one" anchor position... why four anchors?   

When one has to try SO hard to be politically correct, as is the case with these CBC choices, then one really begins to question the authenticity behind it.
