Howard stern for one. Not to mention all the variety channels from the US.
I was listening to Stern on my Sirius the other day & a US caller had phoned in. This guy travels a lot over the Canada border & he told a story of how a CDN immigration officer noticed his Sirius player, and they said 'you know that Howard Stern station is illegal here?', but then had nothing to back it up or any such 'law' to enforce. Unfortunately the American didn't know better to tell the officer how WRONG he was- Stern is not banned or illegal in Canada- it just wasn't chosen to be carried here. If that were me, I know my big mouth woulda told him how STUPID he was (most likely resulting in a full car strip & long detention at the border). Sad to know that there are officials who think they can control what an American tourist can listen to in his car.

whats more sad is that the officials CAN control what canadians listen to in their car.

I hope you WOULD have told them! Damn right Nat! (Though that car search afterward would suck! )
