Local is pretty local though. Probably going to be just Miami news.

Banhahahahaha, Ontario, Canada. and we don't have a TV station, just a piddly little radio station. The big story here is a couple that's been married 50 years, An OPP officer who died of carbon monoxide poisoning because the stupid fuck was working on his _running_ car while the garage door was closed, a doctor shortage, how maple syrop production has gone high-tech (they use MACHINES now, you hear?), and a Plaque to commemorate the founders of some nowhereland town that isn't even on the map.

Welcome to my world :P
