Just out: Postmedia's five highest-paid executives got $6.46 million in total compensation for fiscal 2020 (including $2.59 million in bonuses).

That's almost as much as they expect from the news bailout for 2019 ($7 million) and about half what they got from CEWS as of Aug. 31. A chart breaking down the c... And that's even having taken small pay cuts for a few months in the spring.
