In my attempt to reintroduce my single-country news sources, I've decided to rotate them by area.  Today, I've linked stories from sites in Canada and northwestern Europe.  Tomorrow, it will be a different group.  Multi-country sources and commentary sites will still be linked every day, to the extent that they publish something.
