Basically they just pay the licence for one song and play it throughout the hour, which is significantly cheaper than paying royalties on a couple dozen songs per hour. I also think they have to play a certain amount of "canadian" music, so they just skirt around that by playing the same song over and over.
No i mean the weepy "we only do this cause we have to XD" attitude stations here have to playing Canadian music, it gets old really fast. Just put the tragically hip and rush in the bag
I have my heart set on Panama, but are there other places that people from Canada can leave for besides the U.S.?
Australia?

A place where freedom of speech still matters. Pozfailia is just as bad as this rats nest.
 
I thought about driving around today with a huge ass America flag hanging off the back of my truck, but I don't want a 5 star wanted level right now. "Happy" Canada day my niggers.

Canada, your future is Detroit at its worst but as an entire nation. The US needs a giant border wall already.
You're not wrong.

I would post a Mr. Garrison and Mr. Hat image but, who didn't think that upon seeing this?

Radio after the 80s became highly corporate and no one had any leeway. They don't bother playing new or smaller Canadian bands, and they dont play anything but the same 3 tracks from the bands they have.
I [redacted] at a [redacted] non-profit station once upon a time.

The red tape strangles your soul. eg. there is (or was?) a content requirement for 10% 'International' music, which is why a ton of the smaller stations play African drum beats from 2AM to 4:30AM. The non-profits go to fundraise but they need licenses to conduct the fundraisers, and the cost of application may exceed the amount they raise. You go to play small bands, but you need explicit written permission from them, and they're often unreachable or already broken up, plus the CRTC may not recognize them as Canadian. Your financials and meetings have to be done to the same standard as a municipal government - with volunteer staff. A lot of those places just struggle to keep their spot on the spectrum. To top it all off, the sort of people who are willing to put up with that bullshit are usually socialist (and on welfare), so they're hostile to their own community, and doing anything that actually benefits the community or gives it a voice will likely get you ousted from the operation.

And it's all incredibly needless. I remember a pirate station cropped up during my tenure. They had like $1000 worth of equipment and a better location for their antenna that dwarfed ours. The town loved them. Their .mp3 playlist cost maybe $1/day to run. The only reason they got caught is because some jealous literal faggot from our 'community' station ratted them out.
