●Ever since the invention of the radio in the 1920s, Canadians have been tuning into American culture across the border.
●Canada’s government created the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in 1936 because it wanted Canadians to have Canadian radio programs. ●The radio was used to “foster national spirit and interpret national citizenship” in Canada. ● CBC/Radio-Canada is today a government-owned radio and TV service that has separate English and French language networks. |

“There is a song that is Canada. You can hear it in the bush and tree and rock, in the crash of a Pacific surf and blowing of the breeze across a prairie sky. There are ancient notes in its chorus, voicessprung from Metis roots, Ojibway, Cree, Micmac and then French, German, Scottish and English. It’s a magnificent cacophony. I have learned that to love this country means to love its people. All of them. When we say “all my relations”, it’s meant in a teaching ways, to rekindle community. We are part of the great, grand circle of humanity, and we need each other. It wouldn’t be Canada with one voice less.”
