Preguntas por mi Canadian amigos
OK, that made it Baja related:
Read an article written by a Canadian where he discribed his mother as "one of those Canadians who leave their radio tuned to the Canadian
Broadcasting Network all day".
Is this a slam or a compliment?

I used to be one of those canucks who always had CBC radio on in the background when I lived on my boat and in the bush....most excellent programming
and definitely a part of our culture....seemed more popular in western canada though.

I don't listen to the radio for my music needs....so CBC is the station I listen to 99% of the time (to/from work)....for news, current event
programs, good interviews....and some music in between.
It is educational and informative...AM and FM.
Kinda like BBC.....radio for the thoughtful

So what does CBC say about..
.. the Toronto(?) mayor who copped to getting drunk and smoking crack? The US media is beating him up pretty bad.
Kinda unfair, I think. I mean there's a lesson there - you don't have to be poor and black and living in the crap end of town.. to get caught up in
the bad stuff.
And he did 'fess up about it.

He's just another politician that thinks he's above the law
Doesn't matter which country but he's getting pretty low ratings here too
An idiot is an idiot...Too bad he is the nation's mayor of the largest city
sold out and got out !!!

CBC is our cultural and collective touchstone. It's our version of PBS mashed up with This hour has 60 Minutes, except it's radio and TV funded by our
taxes which really delights many of us and ticks off some of certain political persuasions 'cause it can be the cross-country voice of those without a
media machine. Our federal government is working hard to dismantle the CBC.
Love it. Got the app and listen to it in Baja. There that makes this thread more Baja-ish.

WG....what a grand idea....a CBC app....you can take the girl out of Canada but you sure cant take Canada out of the girl eh!
CBC is one thing I miss about Canada....wild mushrooms, dried salmon, potlaches, wild berries and beer swillin canucks are some of the others!

Most of my news comes from CBC tv or radio. It is one of the things that unites this vast country. When I travel I read my CBC app online and
listen to online CBC radio. I do not want to miss any new titillating info on Mayor Rob Ford or the Senate cheats.
