...why Porky Pig? Did a competing station with rights to Bugs Bunny issue a non-compete clause?

I think WPTZ was referring to the old, colorised "W7" Porky Pig shorts, which was syndicated separately from the other Looney Tunes packages.
 
CIMT should be marked as TVA.

Did the CBC have different unions for their English and French networks, or was this just a case of the English network having its schedule ready in time despite a labour dispute?
 
Don't know about 1981, but today, both CBC and Radio-Canada are under the same union in Quebec and Moncton, NB, while the rest of Canada were under a different union. As a result, when the Toronto-based CBC strikes, CBMT in Montreal theoretically could keep their local newscast while all others were suspended. The reason I said "theoretically" -- when the union struck around 1998, the CBC went on a special strike-schedule, with only national-based newscasts and no local news; CBMT, under a different union, kept their local news on-air, pre-empting or delaying some CBC programming. However, they still had to move their late newscast from 11PM to 10:30PM, following the CBC's national newscast (which was seen in place of "The National").

When the CBC union struck in 2005, it closed down all local CBC newscasts, including CBMT, even though CBMT would not have been affected -- by this time, CBC's English operations were centralised through Toronto, making it impossible for CBMT to break off and go its own way.

As for 1981, a Wikipedia article on the CBC implied that the CBC struck that year in a dispute with NABET -- it was unknown if that strike was related to the Radio-Canada strike that year.
