Hey there fellow Canadian. Glad you got in before someone mentioned Anne Murray or Justin Bieber.
I almost said Leonard Cohen but he wrote a depressing song about my name.
Even if depressing, it's probably a rather good song. At least based on Suzanne; So Long, Marianne; and Joan of Arc. (I know, I know, the later is about the historical character, but still.)
If I were asked to mention a Canadian musician I'd think of Celine Dion long before Justin Bieber. Hell I'd think of Woods of Ypres.
