[Magdalen] Quebec City.

My impression was that Canada got C, because there are so many different
ones I have heard...but Wikipedia helped steer me in the right
direction.

Canada has some stations that start with CB (for the CBC, Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation), through a special arrangement with the
government of Chile since CB is part of their allocation.

On its own, Canada is allocated radio call signs beginning with CF
through CK and CY and CZ, as well as VA through VG, VO (which was the
prefix for Newfoundland before it joined Canada), VX and VY, XJ through
XO. But most of these are not used for commercial broadcast.

Wikipedia says on a page about Canadian FM broadcasting that "Canadian
station normally use call letters from the CFAA-CFZZ and CHAA-CKZZ
blocks" and that fits with my recollection of stations near where I used
to live.
