At the current power, it's not possible unless the CBC opens additional rebroadcasters within its coverage area, something the CBC is reluctant to do right now. And other scenarios, such as increasing 88.1's power, is out of the question.
This forum had an earlier discussion about these rumours:

Re: 88.1 FM Toronto (CHES-FM Erin, Ontario)
If CKLN-FM *Ever* decides to go back on the air at 88.1 FM OR if another broadcasters use 88.1 FM, it may cause interference issues with CHES-FM 88.1 in Erin, Ontario as it is about maybe around 80 km northwest of Toronto near Guelph. CHES used to be on 101.5 FM until earlier this year. I cannot understand why CHES-FM moved from 101.5 MHz to 88.1 MHz in the first place. Rather than changing frequencies, they should of increased their power at 101.5 FM. I'm thinking CHES-FM may had interference issues with CIOI-FM 101.5 Hamilton? There are other frequencies CHES could of used such as: 88.7, 92.3, 96.1, 101.1, and 104.9, etc. I live up in the Sudbury area and been visiting the Erin area from time to time. I couldn't believe how crowded the FM dial is in Southern Ontario!
Pretty soon there won't be anymore room left! You think that the government will eventually open up frequencies for broadcasting on the FM dial below 88.1 MHz in the future for Canada/USA and Mexico, etc? how about the AM dial below 530 KHz, or even the Longwave band (150-280) like they do in Europe and other countries? not a bad idea!!! ;D See recnet for FM in parts of Southern Ontario. http://cdbs.recnet.net:8080/fmq.php?latd=43.7656&lond=80.0614

I know there's a lot of talk about expanding the FM band down to 76 MHZ but for now it's just talk.
If Longwave were to be opened up, I'd like to see it done as it is in Europe/Asia/North Africa. A few stations on each frequency that cover a LARGE area.
