I think the only places where Nickelback are liked are college fraternity houses and trailer parks.

Ok, so is every American modern rock station, and the ones that play "the best of classic rock and the very best of modern rock".

Nickelback are the very best of modern rock did you know that?

right...

what i'm getting at is the actual CANCON laws that have been in place for decades. these are actual laws and broadcast regulations that force any kind of media outlet in Canada to broadcast X% of Canadian content per X time based on the size and type of broadcasts.

a rock station has to play something close to 50% Canadian content BY LAW in order to maintain a broadcasting license. theoretically it's made to support and broaden our culture by promoting lesser known local talent. the reality is the current Nickelback / Theory of a Deadman effect. i doubt many people at the radio stations honestly like Nickelback, but they're a safe play to the passive listeners who still enjoy radio and they're an easy way to hit those daily targets on that checklist to keep the station on air.

That sucks. If only they'd fill up that 50% with Skinny Puppy.

Man, I'm glad I don't live in Canada then. 50 percent?

I do like Rush but they're overplayed here as well. I take it your classic rock stations are dominated by them and Bachman Turner Overdrive?

If any Rush song gets played, it is "Tom Sawyer".

Why do people say Rush is the best thing Canada have produced? It's clearly Leonard Cohen!
