Any mention of things happening in Canada or where I actually live. Nope.

I'm not sure how what you used as an example is strictly American news...
The Afgan plane crash and the Pope are international stories... The Afgan plan wreck also has a Canadian angle in that someone on board had a Canadian passport, not to mention that our troops are in Afganistan.
The Pope story... international
The child porn thing... It is American based but child porn *is* a hot button issue.
The CBC, while a good source for Canadian stories is also a good place to get International stories from a Canadian perspective... That is the distinction that needs to be made. The CBC has corespondants and stingers around the world... the other networks don't come close... other websites use wire stories.
For Canadian and for local stories (local is more important to me) I go to CP24's website or the CBC.
