I noticed that you can now listen to the air traffic control frequencies for Thunder Bay International Aiport on LiveATC.net. They are currently streaming the frequencies for:
Thunder Bay Ground: 121.9
Thunder Bay Tower: 118.1
Thunder Bay Terminal: 119.2
Winnipeg Center (CZWG) – Marathon Sector (GND/FL280): 132.125
I just heard a CF-18 flying over my house, and then the controller said, “Follow the F-18 inbound.” And later I heard, “F-18 is departing the runway.” I think the actual radio for the pilot of the F-18 was too faint to hear, so I couldn’t hear what he was saying. It sounded like he was asking for clearance to fly the pattern again, but the controller said no because he has seven Cessnas inbound.
So have fun with this! If you’re a Grounded Pilot like me, you’ll enjoy listening to real ATC. I think the future of flight simulators will embed real live ATC and traffic data so you can fly alongside real world traffic.

Great catch. I’ve been wishing CYQT was on there for a long time. Haven’t gone back since September.
