One of our favourite shows broadcast on Wisconsin Public Radio is As It Happens. Lots of interesting articles from all around the world, but from a Canadian perspective. You can listen to it via the above link.

Jim,

Thanks for the links - they make some interesting reading. The link to the Calgary Herald re-directs me to a Russian newspaper! Maybe it's my browser settings, or maybe it's the few glasses of wine I've had.

Anyway, thanks for the links again. Much appreciated  

Hi Jim, thanks for that, very useful, you said about letting you know about places, does Hamilton have a newspaper etc ?

Regards

Beci

I made a slight goof on the link, BUT that Russian language newspaper IS printed IN Calgary, Alberta, by the Calgary Herald newspaper group.

Ethnic language local newspapers in Canada are found everywhere.

In Toronto, there are 15 daily papers in a language other than English. There are 4 dailys in either Cantonese or Mandarin, for our large Chinese population as well as two Chinese langauge tv stations, and four radio stations for that languge group.

I have corrected the Calgary Herald link.
