Kind of sad that radio is FORCED to play Canadian content rather than choose to play Canadian music based on it's own merits of what people want to hear. English-language and French-language stations must ensure that at least 35% of the Popular Music they broadcast each week is Canadian content. Commercial radio stations also have to ensure that at least 35% of the Popular Music broadcast between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday to Friday is Canadian content. CBC / Radio Canada CBC / Radio Canada stations must ensure that at least 50% of their Popular Music selections broadcast each week are Canadian content. I couldn't disagree more There is a reason Canada time and time again will produce a talent that is welcomed into the US markets - The reason is partly due to what you just posted. Stop trying to sell us out to the USA 02sled, its a bad conservative view that will not work in Canada Today there is this thing called the internet or cell phone, you can connect to any music market you wish, so your argument is a none issue today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1trailmaker Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 02sled when my friends come up from the states one thing they bring up is the good music they haven't heard before. Who is that band? You on the other hand want them to feel just like their at home What songs are you being denied the listening pleasure too?

Stations buy packages of music and really can't go outside that purchase. The day of the DJ doing something about the music content is over a long time ago Sirius is great if you switch it up with channels, buddy has it and he listens to classic rock fuck me q107 is free 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he needs an intervention. The Wolf is like Q107 Lite. The GTA needs a station like this: http://wrif.com/ Listening to it you hear a lot of music that you don't hear in the Toronto area.

This week, Trudeau will become the first sitting Canadian prime minister to participate in the annual East Asia Summit and is the only one who’s ever been invited, his office said. Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said Sunday, after she and Trudeau arrived in Manila, that the East Asia Summit will give him a chair at the top security table in the region. He will sit alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump during discussions on the security situation involving North Korea, she said. “That is a really big deal,” Freeland said of the forum, which is held in conjunction with the annual summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. “Canada has never been there before.” The ASEAN summit itself will give Trudeau an opportunity to advance his trade agenda with the emerging bloc of 10 Southeast Asian countries, which is already Canada’s sixth-largest trading partner. After reading Trudeau's resume and noting the highlighted experience as bouncer and bus boy the other World leaders felt that Trudeau would be a good candidate to fill the water glasses for the world leaders during there talks so they decided to invite him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 A month old but I found Don's comments online. Fail will say this isn't fair: http://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/don-martin-blog/don-martin-time-for-trudeau-to-quit-the-harper-blame-game-1.3621067 More oh nos: http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/11/14/17/duterte-says-insulted-by-trudeaus-move-to-raise-human-rights Quote Last week, Duterte said he would not accept human rights lecturing from other world leaders during his stay in Vietnam for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit. Reminds me of LBJ's reaction to Pearson speaking in the US: Quote 1965 – at the height of the Vietnam War, Prime Minister Lester Pearson visited President Lyndon Johnson at the White House. Pearson gave a scathing speech one night about the war, then appeared at the White House the next day to confront a livid Johnson. As (author Lawrence) Martin describes it, LBJ grabbed Pearson by the shirt collar, lifted the prime minister off the floor and shouted, "You pissed on my rug!" And then you have this nugget: Quote He said Canada is willing to share best practices and experiences with Southeast Asian nations to help solve humanitarian concerns in the region, including the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar. What would these 'best practices and experiences' be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
