Welcome to Radio Free Canada. I’m Issobell Sansamour and I’ll be your host for the program.

A brief introduction to the format and the announcer. I ‘m an American ex-pat of Canadian ancestry now residing in the homeland of my long ago family. While I reside in British Columbia, I’m proud to be of Quebecois origin. My maternal ancestors were trappers who migrated to America via the Northwest Fur Company in the early 1800’s.

Radio Free Canada is an examination of the differences between the United States and its northern neighbor, commentaries on Canadian politics, observations about other Commonwealth countries such as Britain (paternal ancestors), and whatever fires my neurons at the time.

So without more ado, let’s flick the switch.
