Ever since moving to the US, I slowly realized that were are a number of pop music songs that I used to hear a lot in Toronto on stations like z103.5 or 99.9 Virgin Radio. But I'd never hear them on the radio in the US (e.g. on Cleveland's 96.5 Kiss FM, which I'd consider equivalent to z103.5).

Whenever I'd drive back home to Toronto, I'd hear those songs again.

And then as soon as I returned back to the US, I wouldn't hear those songs anymore. I kind of missed them actually.

Today, I realized that those songs were all by Canadian artists. And that's not to say that the music is bad. If anything, I rather like it.

Although to be fair, I believe that I've probably heard at least one Canadian artist in the US. That would be Justin Bieber. But that's hardly exciting.
