Is that true of the live channels/programs as well as on demand shows or just one or the other?

I don't know how the CBC works - since they ask for your postal code I wonder if they direct you to a server for your "area". If you have access to another email account you could try signing up for another CBC account with a Toronto postal code and see if that makes a difference.  If they use your IP address then it won't make any difference.
