I may not have owned any of the man's CDs but I can belt out
The Hockey Song as well as any self respecting Canadian.
And I will always have a wonderful memory of my girl singing
CA-NA-DA in her grade one class assembly in a ridiculously adorable red cowboy hat.
I was so sad to hear of his passing two days ago.
I know we have lots of great Canadian musicians but do we have musicians that will sing about Canada The Great?
I was pondering Canada's loss as I was out and about on a particularly beautiful sunny Canadian March Saturday.
I think I captured some "Canadian moments"...

| sidewalks are one part snow, one part ice and once part slush. |

But thats O-kay, you can walk on the street...
 |
| on the street snow piles are six feet high and slowly melting onto the road. but you get this cool layer effect in the drifts. |
 |
| melting snow and high drifts does not stop my first official street hockey sighting |
 |
| Nope. Still no basketball in March |
 |
| Its sunny, the snow is melting and you can just barely detect the scent of spring in the air. Its enough for this driver who is still wearing a scarf and toque but has his window down. |
 |
| This guy running in shorts and a winter jacket. |
 |
| My favorite art supply store still has delightfully nerdy snowflakes on their window. |
 |
| 20 steps away at a grocery store fresh tulips for sale |
 |
| Grown men rolling around on the sunny snow like a cat on hardwood in a beam of sunshine. |
 |
| the is my girl waiting for the bus soaking up the rays. |
