Yeah, Canada! I love my country from sea to shining sea and the Great Lakes.
You are so right. Canada is not broken. Despite differences of opinion, political and cultural, we are like siblings. No one picks on us without everyone else coming to our defence. That even includes distant neighbours from across the sea who are buying Canadian.
Like you, I have changed my spending habits. It's Canadian, all the way. Even the grocery stores seem to support buy only Canada.
I love your selection of artists to honour in this post. They are quintessential Canadian. I highly recommend them all.
I met Gordon Lightfoot when he was a patient after surgery many years ago.
Brilliantly said, Jo. Gord Downie's version of Lightfoot's "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" is really good too. I grew up on so much music by the bands you listed and many others; my playlist would take days and days to get through. The appreciation on this side of the border runs deep.
Awwww honey. I love that you listen to Canadian bands. I know; I barely scratched the surface here, but where do you stop in a post? The playlist goes on and on. Makes me very proud of our cultural depth.
I love Canada. It has always been a wonderful place full of lovely people and the art *chef's kiss. This 'administration' doesn't represent us at all. Thank you for knowing that....your country is loved and respected, by many of us south of the border. ;)

Anyway, bang on as much as you like, Joanne.
Ohhh Wendy you met him!? Ohhh I am so jealous! One of my heroes and no mistaking.
Thank you for your beautiful comments. I entirely agree. When the going gets tough, most of us (like 94% ish) stick together.
Thanks. I probably will keep banging on.

Thank you so much for this. Love.
I think our playlists have a lot in common. But right now, for me, Tanglefoot said it best. in Secord's Warning:
'So all you Yankee soldier lads who dare to cross our border
Thinking to save us from ourselves, usurping British order
There's women and men, Canadians all of every rank and station
To stand on guard and keep us free from Yankee domination'
Indeed. Thank you for sharing this, Marian.

I know, honey. I know. Love you.
Love you too. This torture will end. I’m counting the days until freedom.
Love Gordon Lightfoot and all the others! Wish I had your playlist! Enjoy every note!
Y'what, Harriet? You know all these musical folk? That's amazing! Yay! Yes, Lightfoot was incredible. We still listen to him all the time.
And don’t forget Stan Rogers!
ARGH!!! I should have included him for sure! DAMN! Might add . . .
My husband can sing all of Barrett's Privateers. IN ORDER.
And he’s not a “broken man on a Halifax pier.” 😊
HA! Good one! Nope. He's a happy man when he stands on a Saskatchewan lake pier, btw.
❤️❤️❤️
