Buffy Sainte-Marie

She was born in Saskatchewan, but adopted and raised in the USA.

Years and years ago, I saw her in a television interview. The interviewer asked her what it had been like to sing before the Queen. Without missing a beat, and with a perfectly straight face, she said, "Oh, I didn't know that the Queen sang."

Wow I feel very uncultured and ignorant - when I started this thread I never expected to read of so many famous Canadians...most of whom I'm ashamed to admit I've never heard of! (particularly the curling gang?!).

I think I thought James Taylor was Canadian cos his music sounds like he should be Canadian! (that's meant in a good way - I love his music!).

And I loved that poem (thanks Judy) - very moving

Oh here's another one I've just thought of (after reading an article on Anne of Green Gables & PEI in this month's 'Emigrate 2' magazine):- Louisa M. Montgomery!

Ok, I googled, hence the alphabetical order, but here are some authors.

Bellow, Saul:
Coupland, Douglas: "
Davies, Robertson:
Lowry, Malcolm:
Mowat, Farley:
Munro, Alice:
Ondaatje, Michael: "
Richler, Mordecai:
Shields, Carol:
Smart, Elizabeth:

jeez you didn't even get ms. montgomery! ;-)

cos you had already mentioned her??

duh

That reminds me of an interview after he won his (later rescinded) medal.

He said something about records being beaten "but they can't take a medal away."

Interesting that nobody has asked who he is. Unless you meant a different Peter North to the one I'm....ooops...my wife is thinking of.

Born in Montreal - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionel_Blair

Does he give you the Blair stare?!

Eric McCormack, Elvis Stojka, Tom Cavanagh

I'm wearing out my google trying to keep up with this thread.

<Of course I know who Elvis Stojko is, 'cos he comes from Richmond Hill, where it is a-snowing hard at the moment>

Gordon Lightfoot, Stompin Tom Connors and of course the Guess Who......

I had to google him just to make sure cos I did originally think he was from the US. Can you skate as well, did you teach him all he knows

Yes, we're watching the weather, luckily Mal is home for a few days so doesn't have to drive through any of it. Keep in, keep warm and keep drinking.

Well, if you insist, I think I can manage that.
