Canadians say goodbye to Tragically Hip as lead singer is diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Last concert tonight
As a Canadian, Tragically Hip are an absolute iconic band. Though they never made it big on the international scene they came out with great rock music for 30 odd years. Sadly their lead singer was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Nonetheless the band embarked on a country-wide final tour which has its last show tonight (8pm eastern time) broadcast nation wide and streamed internationally:

One of my all time favourite songs, Ahead by a Century.

A very emotional day.

My intro to the band, just a random pick at a used record store.

Embarrassingly as a Canadian I barely know this band.
Concert sounds more than awesome.
Surround sound and 420 helps.
Ya good.
Khmer440: thanks for your indulgence.
Check out the band.

I find it pathetic that Trudeau is attending to score some political points. How many vacations has he had in the last 9 months?

What a brilliant concert with lead singer and writer Gord Downie pulling out all the stops as his much as his wrecked body could offer. Many tears shed. All credit to CBC for providing a first class broadcast and bumping hours of Olympics coverage and completely ad free.

A pretty moving and proud moment today for Gord. Hats off to him!

What? You know the Canadian Government gives them over a Billion dollars a year to operate right? And they are now asking for another 400 million? While everywhere else in the world, the MSM is dropping like flies being exposed for the fake news sites they are, Pony Boy Trudeau and his League of Liberal Tards' will likely give it to them.PenhMan wrote: All credit to CBC for providing a first class broadcast [...] completely ad free.
In the end, its a small price to pay to have his sorry ass turfed from office. Because, they (CBC and the Liberal Government) will operate in concert in that vacuum of alternative realty until their liberal tears will flow as they all ask themselves how they could have ever got it so wrong.
How? Because in the last 29 days prettyboy Trudeau has taken selfies in Cuba, Argentina, Liberia, Madagascar, and at Shopify but has made no time for Donald Trump. I'm sure everything will be fine.
The problem with the world is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
