[edit] Christian radio stations
No problem at all...I see you're fairly new, so you may not know all the little tips and tricks yet. And yeah, the separate section for low-power stations is probably a good idea; that's really what I should have done instead of removing them.
The main thing about that is that Wikipedia's current policy on radio stations requires that a station "broadcasts at least regionally"...which is awkward and doesn't entirely make sense (somebody once tried to invoke that as a reason to delete one of the biggest AM radio stations in New Orleans, because the article didn't explicitly spell out that the signal could also be heard in the suburbs!), but what we do know is that it more or less rules out 5- or 10-watt VF stations that don't necessarily even reach all of their own community of license.
Oh, and by the way...the actual policy for radio stations is that they should be titled CXXX (AM) for an AM radio station or CXXX-FM for an FM station. Just so you know, some Canadian radio stations already have articles at just CXXX without the suffix; generally these were written before the policy was clarified and just haven't been moved yet. So feel free to move radio stations to the proper title format if you come across one that isn't titled that way yet.

Hi...please don't file a radio station directly in Category:Religious media in Canada if it's already in Category:Christian radio stations in Canada — the Christian radio stations category is already a subcategory of the religious media one, and Wikipedia has a rule against duplicate categorization.
