Any of my Canadian Brethren (or sistren), watch this thing? I watched a little here and there in between periods during a hockey game,. The usual Canadian navel gazing. Why do we always feel the need to trot out whatever we are calling the government minister of culture this week? Can't we find anything NOT to mix government with in this country?

Anyway the last song was that catchy little ditty by DJ Champion, which was the best thing I saw from last nights show. They have a really BIG sound that came across very well. Could have done without Nelly Furtado joining the fun at the end, but what can you do.

And Sam Roberts introduced some guy, who'se name I can't remember; and he was pretty good. Patrick Watson, maybe? Sounds more like a news anchor than a rock star. He was the second best thing I saw.
