Lenny Kravitz is Not Canadian

As a stunt, Corus had all their radio stations play exclusively Canadian music. I can get behind this, stunt or not! I still listen to a tonne of music from Canadians.
I was curious as to what 102.1 the Edge would play all day, and was suprised to see they played Lenny Kravitz. American Woman does qualify as Cancon, as the music and lyrics were from The Guess Who, but I don't think Cancon-qualified jams was the purpose of this O Canada stunt. I'm certain they intended to play all-Canadian artists.
My best guess is the CanCon filter in the automation system let Lenny's cover of American Woman in, and not human reviewed the playlist before it went to air.
Pity.
