The problem is that all of these feeds are huge and not relevant to my interest. For example I live in Toronto but the first 5 items in the CBC Toronto are not interesting to me. For example I see "It's like smoke on your wedding day — How the wedding industry is working around wildfires ". I couldn't give two hoots about people working around some smoke on their wedding. The General News category doesn't do much better.

The category of each individual item doesn't help filtering, most of them are just labeled News/Canada/Toronto.

I love RSS but I don't find these news company feeds compelling. They just pump out too much junk to fill the void of real news.

However I would definitely click through links to their site when searching for news about specific events. But they have shot themselves in the foot. Now I am just going to be directed to US sources instead.
