      I'm not Canadian , but I grew up in Bellingham, Washington , not far from the Canadian border. I've travelled through every province in Canada, and yes Canada is a great nation, filled with great people. And of course, Gordon Lightfoot is one of the greatest singer-songwriters in history.

      Not sure but think it was a tribute to him, it was not a gordon lightfoot concert,
      I heard he is going to be touring in Canada this summer. Caught his show about 5 years ago and it was great, had a great sence of humor and the music was great, sure his voice was not as strong as perhaps when he was in his prime but he was on key and still was superb, Canadian treasure.
