Amusing sidenote:  I was travelling to Windsor/Detroit, so I
picked up a copy of the Toronto Star looking for the article.

 

What article? The Lilley opinion piece?

 eyup.  I heard the interview on the Marconi and
wanted the complete clip.
      .....

Sent e-mails (well, web forms..) to CBC.  They replied
that, well, duh, I had gotten the paper wrong (but, being
Canadian, they didn't laugh at me...) and were kind enough
to kick me direct URLs.

 

I'm not surprised you failed to find Brian Lilley in the Toronto Star,
which has a decided leftist slant. Lilley is in the Toronto Sun, a
successful tabloid that skews more to the right.

 

I'm not sure why you asked the CBC where to find Brian Lilley's column
though ;-) They aren't a public information service, although they
apparently came through in this case.

 forgive me, I'm from the States (don't hold it against me!?)
and misremembered,  I had the wireless

Wireless? That's the British term, we call it radio just like you do ;-)

tuned to "newstalk 1010"
which is part of bellmedia, and that's the web site where
I made my enquiry.
 

I'm confused. I've never listened to Newstalk 1010 but 1010 is an AM radio frequency so I assume it is a radio station, although I suppose it may be a website as well. If they do have a website, and you enquired there, then you weren't talking to CBC, which is definitely not owned by Bellmedia. CBC is owned by the taxpayers of Canada.
Sorry, I'm not trying to bust your balls here. I'm just having trouble following the reasoning you used to trace Brian Lilley's radio broadcast to the Toronto Sun newspaper by talking to someone at the CBC (via email)....
