All That Matters tells stories about arts and culture. Each week we take small bites out of a big question. This week: Where can Canadians watch CanCon? Video rental stores have almost disappeared, and more of us are watching TV online, where nobody's required to stock up on Canadian content. We ask Kevin Martin, owner of the last standing DVD rental shop in Edmonton - the Lobby - what's kept his business standing. Then we ask the National Film Board's Director of Digital Marketing Matthieu Stréliski what's on their streaming site, NFB.ca. And we ask Mosaic Entertainment Chief Marketing Officer Jesse Lipscombe how his production company has tried to get the locally produced comedy Delmer & Marta out to Canadian viewers.

We are Edmonton's independent, volunteer-powered campus & community radio station!

Broadcasting from the basement of the Students' Union Building at the University of Alberta located on Treaty 6 land, CJSR operates as a non-profit society and registered charity. 

Our mission is to “enlighten and entertain our audience through high quality and diverse programming that constantly challenges the status quo”. We do this by amplifying voices and perspectives often underrepresented in mainstream media. We provide a safe and inclusive (and fun!) environment for folks to learn the ins and outs of audio production, as well as educate listeners on local issues and stories.

Commonwealthgirrl | Singer/Songwriter
Music runs in my blood—raised in Canada with a DJ dad who sparked my love for studios, records, and mics. From flute and choir to secret late-night radio shows, storytelling and song have been my life.
I fuse Country, Jazz, Pop, and Swing into raw, honest tracks—all home-produced with keyboard, ukulele, and simple gear. Influenced by legends like Johnny Cash, Daniel Lanois, and Rickie Lee Jones.
Check out my debut EP The Real Commonwealthgirrl (2021), singles Christmas Time (2022) and The Proof (St. Patrick’s Day 2024). In August 2025, I hit a songwriting retreat in Nashville— I'm ready to bring a fresh batch of new songs your way.
Thanks for listening—LIFE IS IMPROV.
