It's been nearly three years since Myrna offered a tribute to the USA's northern neighbor (unless you're from Alaska, like Myrna, and then it's your neighbor to the east, but I digress ...).
This week, Seasonsistas should post entries from singers, songwriters, and performers hailing from Canada.
A list of Canadian musicians is here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Canadian_musicians
A list of Canadian musical groups (many genres) is here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Canadian_musical_groups
UPDATED: A list of Canadian bands (subset of groups):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bands_from_Canada
Usual rules apply (normal start and finish time — no early posts!! — multitracking and collabs welcome, so long as the uke is the star; new videos for this season only).
Please limit to three entries if you're interested in winning one of the FABULOUS PRIZES, but also feel free to post bonus entries or put others on the island.
Original songs about Canada or Canadians welcome!
The prizes:
1) A 3' x 5' Canadian flag
2) A copy of the Smithsonian Folkways CD Classic Canadian Songs
3) A toque! (Actually, a hipster beanie from Mims Ukes, but still ...)
I'll probably award prizes randomly at the end, unless I change my mind.
WARNINGS:
1) If you cover a Celine Dion song, you may need to sing it in French.
2) If you cover a Justin Bieber song, I may ask the mods to remove you from the board.
PLAYLIST
AFTER RECORDING THE VIDEO ...
I also decided everyone should win this week, so ... I'm making a donation to the Canadian Red Cross's Alberta Fires Appeal to help those folks in great need right now who are trying to endure the wildfires in Southwestern Canada. I'm going to make the donation now, in the name of the Seasonistas, because those hardy souls need every bit they can get immediately. If you'd like to help, too, here's a link:

Thank you, have a fun season, and have a beer for me!
