Commercial, community, campus and native radio
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."
Joe is busting through that percentage.

Will be expecting the likes of Gordon Lightfoot, Anne Murray, Canuck expats Joni Mitchell & Neil Young on regular playlist (Maybe even Guy Lombardo?). And on Single File, will be expecting at least one of these: Loverboy, Bryan Adams, Men Without Hats, or Glass Tiger.

I'm a North NewEnglander & I've never seen a member of Aerosmith or a Moose.
Tho I did see a white-tail deer on the rail trail literally out my back door about a week ago.
Mooses reportedly are very large indeed & don't give a f*ck. Very Ice Age as it were...

I got on a bus and sat down next to a beautiful blonde woman. She was crying, so I asked her what was the matter.
"I just left my psychiatrist, and he doesn't know what to do with me," she said.
"Well what's wrong?" I asked.
"Why would I tell you, we just met!"
"Sometimes it's good to tell your problems to a random stranger on a bus."
So she looked out the window for a second and then turned to me and said, "I'm a nymphomaniac and I'm only attracted to Jewish cowboys. By the way, I'm Diane."
So I looked at her and I said, "Hello Diane, I'm Bucky Goldstein."
