Progressive radio stations?

Hello, Fellow Canadians.

I just moved back to Toronto after 20 years' absence, and I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for city/provincial/national progressive talk radio stations or programs. I've been here a week and I'm still listening to Stephanie Miller and Thom Hartmann.

Thanks!/Merci!

I'm not in Canada, but I listen to them online sometimes.
They have good music as well as news and talk.

In Toronto is CIUT 89.5 http://www.ciut.fm/

Some not in Toronto are CKDU, CKUT, and CJAM.

Several stations participate in the annual Homeless Marathon:

Here are some good lists of radio stations in Canada:

Those lists aren't identical, and list several Toronto stations, they are probably all good.
