I put up a similar post (focused on CBC Gem) in the main Canada community: https://lemmy.ca/post/40558515 and had some pretty cool answers!
I've started second screening the National and Power n Politics while Slaying the Spire (makes playing video games feel productive!) though, as I don't have cable, I sometimes have to stream it on youtube because as far as I can tell, if you aren't watching live, there's now way to start the broadcast at the beginning on CBC Gem.
