Corrected Links:

I know that this is late, and potentially off-topic, but the links I gave yesterday to CBC radio streams were incorrect. Here are the updated links for those of you who are interested:

• http://icy1.abacast.com/cbc-classicalhi-192.m3u (CBC Classical)
• http://icy1.abacast.com/cbc-jazzhi-192.m3u (CBC Jazz)
• http://icy1.abacast.com/cbc-songwriterhi-192.m3u (CBC Canadian Songwriters)
• http://icy1.abacast.com/cbc-canadianclassicalhi-192.m3u (CBC Canadian Composers)

More information and links to additional streams are available at http://www.cbc.ca/listen/ (CBC Radio Streams). Enjoy.

You might want to try the CBC Radio 2 Internet-only stream that is devoted to classical: http://radiostreams.cbc.ca/cbc-cbcw3tor-128.m3u. Very few advertisements and no chatter that I've noticed. CBC Radio 2 also has Internet-only streams devoted to Jazz (http://radiostreams.cbc.ca/cbc-cbcw1tor-128.m3u), Canadian Composers (http://radiostreams.cbc.ca/cbc-cbcw2tor-128.m3u) and Canadian Songwriters (http://radiostreams.cbc.ca/cbc-cbcw4tor-128.m3u). I'm not sure if these streams are geo-locked. Enjoy.

I'm afraid that I've got to disagree. In my experience, raw dollar-for dollar costs are relatively equal between Canada and the US - in my case, comparing Alberta with Nevada. It costs me approximately $100 US in NV to purchase what would cost $100 CND in Alberta... and this is shopping at the same family of stores (Safeway). I believe that similar comparisons could be made for other goods and products.

Cheers,
Greg
