Oh absolutely. Maybe not that one though.

Does that song have any lyrics? Just seems to be endless choruses

Wilf Carter? Lucky Pierre? Anne Murray? Gordon Lightfoot? Tommy Hunter? I’m on the edge of my seat in anticipation of the CanCon.

I'd like to also see a list of the cease and desist orders from the one other party. They keep playing songs without authorization of the artists.

Stompin Tom Connors- the Woody Guthrie/Johnny Cash of Canada retired from music during the late 70s/early 80s in protest of L.A. -based Burton Cummings winning a Juno Award.

Every now and then there was this talk of him peeling more from Harris than Trump, I guess just because of his name even though his whole appeal was to science skeptics/anti-vaxxers....

↳ Ken From Hyde Park @8:21
It would be nicer if they had a live house band at these conventions
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:30pm
Count d'Al Dente:

RFK wanting a spot on the Harris cabinet was the worm talking. He would be perfect for the Don but I suspect he's also not wanted there.
  8:30pm
Saltonstall:

Stompin Tom has TWO songs about potatoes.

Back in the day a hippy friend of mine said he was going to pick tobacco in Ontario for a summer job. I played him Tilsonburg by Stompin Tom, and he was like “well f that” so he stayed in Flint and mowed lawns instead.

The funny thing about the Kennedy clan is that they were conservative on many issues, except for teddy. But people ignored it, because they were popular.

Whitehorse! I wonder if there are any Canadian country songs that mention Moose Jaw… or Medicine Hat… or Yellowknife

Stompin Tom records are a geography lesson.

Is this is a classic, with many different versions? I feel like I've heard it before by someone else, but I might be making that up.
