May be CJBC in Toronto, Ontario

Is there a station in Haiti on 860? Creole can sound like French to
somebody who doesn't know the difference.

Alberta (?) station does poke through now and again(also in french).

You mean that stupid second-language is spoken somewhere else besides
Quebec?

Yes. English is VERY common as a second language. The French were here
before the Anglos by a few years. Remember the Louisiana Purchase? The
Spanish had the run of the place for a while too, but mainly in the
South and the West coast. Now, Spanish is again spreading northward at
an ever increasing pace. I'm listening to 1480 AM now, I think it's Texas.

Most probably Radio-Canada from Toronto. (are you far enough from WAEC,
your local religious station on that frequency in Atlanta? I'm pretty
confident WAEC doesn't air any French though.)

http://www.radio-canada.ca, not that it'll do you much good if you don't
understand French. (I'm quite sure there's a link for listening over
the Internet on that page but I can't find it...)

President Bush is in Canada so I would expect to hear him mentioned
early in the top-of-hour newscasts if it's indeed a Canadian station. I
don't think the visit would be particularly newsworthy in any other
French-speaking country.

Saskatchewan. (Saskatoon, a pretty good haul from anywhere in the States!)

It's Canada's version of Habana Radio Rebelde(sp.). Give up, your
surrounded ;-)

I'm not familiar with WAEC, but if it's a religious station in
Atlanta, you are *waaaaay* safe in presuming they would not
have an all-French language broadcast

I'm thinking it was the Toronto station. It surprised me...

I can often hear WSB here out of Atlanta at night on 750. I like to catch Neil
Boortz, though if I want to he is carried in the mornings here on my local 640
station.

That would also explain the toques and Turtlenecks
