Listening to Canadian A.M. radio

From Toronto, 35 miles across lake Erie.

Talk radio, man and woman talking about the economics of not buying American goods, how to get most from money doing so.

Cut to commercial, an ad advocating buying Canadian, followed by travel ads for destinations other than the U.S..

Station CFRB, 1010 on the A M. disl.

Canadian a m. radio is a great source for non corporate uncensored news, 1010 is a news talk station.

2. Canadian radio includes CBC Radio 1: news, discussion & Radio 2: music. No commercials, streams free online

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: https://www.cbc.ca/
CBC Radio: https://www.cbc.ca/radio Headline article today: Nobelist Joseph Stiglitz on Tariffs and Trade
CBC Radio shows: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/shows
CBC News: https://www.cbc.ca/news



My recommendations for Radio 1, long running but very "with it" today and relevant:

Thanks for the Sirius number.
I changed my subscription and now have a “hole” to fill since I lost the one sports channel I listened to. I do like the Verge (I think it’s called), too, which is Canada’s alt rock music channel on Sirius.

SiriusXM's Canada Talks channel (which I have on right now) and the CBC 1. It's hard to overstate how much Trump's actions have altered Canada's immediate future, even down to shifting the polls in their upcoming election. Two months ago anyone would have said the conservatives couldn't possibly lose, but that is a question mark now (no pun intended on Mark Carney).

EDIT: I apologize. I sort of rushed this post and it may not be very clear. For listeners of SiriusXM satellite radio, there are a number of Canadian channels. "Canada Talks" is exclusively Canadian talk radio (very high quality) and that is channel 167, and CBC Radio One is programming of greater variety but it includes a number of hard news and talk programs spaced throughout the day. CBC Radio One is channel 169.

And both of these channels are actually on the satellite (as opposed to app only) so you can receive them anywhere you get satellite reception (although both are available on the app/online too).

It's just great, great, very high quality broadcasting IMO. (Most of it is BBC quality).

US AM radio, which I stopped listening to in the 1980s when Rush took over. I'm on Sirius radio in my car and not sure who's on US AM radio these days but I doubt it much better.

Always like Canadian radio when in upper Michigan or Canada. Way different viewpoints. Heard Neil Young interviewed and John Goodman on one visit. Unlikely to hear them in the USA

Their broadcast news is my goto, as well as getting my fill of hockey and nfl football and much funnier commercials. Also get Canadian FM stations and likely AM. Canadian news in general is relatively unbiased and recently getting a bit anti-US for some strange reason It's very refreshing
