Canada has smarter car thieves that we have and I don't like it. Our thieves need to step it up.

It is a smart idea though. Plant an air tag on a car, find what house it parks at then steal the keys from that house.

Can anyone tell me what size "life" is? And how exactly can someone be larger than life, eh?

In Grade 4 I chose him as the celebrity to write to. He wrote back and gave me an autographed picture. At the time I did not hate the Montreal Canadians. I thought he was much older. He would have been 18-20 then.

I have never heard of him.

 

[Channel98]

I enjoy listening to CBC Country, SiriusXM channel 171. Shane Yellowbird is one of dozens of really good Canadian country artists – Greg Rider, Parker Graye, Jess Moskaluke, Elyse Saunders, Dean Brody, Jade Eagleson and Gord Bamford among them – whose music is never played in the US. I don't know why. Here is Pickup Truck. This could have been, and should have been, a top-ten hit here.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I have heard of none of them. But I don't listen to country up here. I am not even sure if there is a country station in Toronto anymore.

But they probably suffer the same fate as Canadian Rock/Pop artists over the years. Because all Canadian radio stations must devote 1/3 of their songs to Canadian artists, the assumption by American program directors that the only reason a Canadian artist is popular is due to the CANCON rules and therefore not worthy of play in the US of A.
