Good to know they’re still among the living and intact. Strongly interested in keeping them that way. Also: filing more stories. That would be better still.
We’re over-reacting to this. Reporters covering social upheaval are routinely apprehended – if they’re doing their job well. It’s what Turkish authorities do with them afterwards that matters. The CBC is reporting the two are fine which suggests they’ll be processed and released. It’s not like they’ve fallen into Taliban hands and are about to be beheaded. Do you think reporters haven’t seen worse at the hands of Canadian, British or American authorities?

we have lots more useless CBCers here. Can send you another couple of thousand if you room for them.
Gee, I wonder why you’re exiled…
