That's great to hear! what an eye-opener it has been so far about Canadian character and talent.

Being from Pennsylvania and a "longtime Lightfoot fan" if I was ranking on a scale of 1-10 Gordon would be #1, Celine#5 and Avril #8. (This is in 2004!!!) Five years from now Gord will still be #1, Celine would be up there but Avril? (Time will tell) But that's just me. I don't know a whole lot about your Canadian stuff. Jim Carrey etc, unless they're huge in Canada 50 years from now, who will Canada remember?

PS I read that Lightfoot thinks Avril is a "brilliant little songwriter" (Globe and Mail) -- maybe Meredith is a fan?

She may be brilliant, but in my opinion, she hasn't been around long enough to even be considered for the list. If she's still around and popular in 40 years, then she'd deserve it.
