By the way, yesterday, being Remembrance Day, I was struck and disappointed with all of the radio stations in Edmonton except CKUA and CHED. CKUA honoured the 11 day and 11th month and 11th hour with our National anthem and then the final post, and finally two minutes of silence. The rest of the FM airwaves were filled with the usual drivel. LEST WE FORGET! Is it a wonder that our children don't respect the past when the corporate media world has no time to shut down their money machines for a couple of minutes once a year. Another reason to support CKUA.
