Of course my flights were massively delayed the joy.......... and the XM satellite Radio in the rental car is not working......... which is tricky in this part of Canada......if you are me...... as most Radio stations are broadcast in French........so I end up listening to CBC in English which I generally like...... I hear it sometimes on the US NPR stations......... today I heard a funny radio comedy set in the future about the only two space ships surviving a fleet that left the Earth on a war mission, one US one Canadian....... they had been part of an American lead war against the Zarthugians but the Canadians had only gone along to plunge the toilets...... it was hilarious and felt kind of instructive as to sections of Liberal Canada's perception of itself in its relationship with the USA ......... mind you overall and not including that one comedy.......its very earnest....... if you think the UK's BBC Radio 4 is totally earnest in its presentation you have heard nothing till you get into the mega earnest deadpan CBC types who cant even mutter a judgmental word against Robert Mugabe...... don't get me wrong I was very glad of CBC in English and listened to it for 200 miles...........
