Things in Canada since the pandemic have also been as bad if not worse on Canada's economy.

Survival of the fittest. Radio is not surviving. Neither are those restaurants that are closing. Or anything else. I approached an eatery I never frequented about 6 months ago. "No credit cards accepted". But they were willing to charge me a 5% fee over my banks fee to withdraw money from their ATM. LOL really? I told them, conform or die. They died, now out of business.

Covid exposed the cracks in a lot of businesses (radio being one) and capitalism, you are seeing the effects roll now.
