It is so crowded here. It is impossible to find a place to rent so that I can work at the factory. Detroit is having similar problems I hear.

EDIT: This is now a Stompin' Tom Tribute Thread.

Sorry. I'm kind of cranky and ruined your thread. The short film is good.

I don't even like the sport but great song.



You might think it's goofy.

Ever since I first listened to him as a kid, I've been a big fan of his...too bad there aren't more Canadians like him. He'll be missed.

Thank you Dr Stompin Tom, rest in peace.

Is there anyone in Canada except Justin Bieber who is famous for something not related to hockey?

Neil Young is barely Canadian. As soon as he was able to, he left. Cohen is an interesting case, as his "The Favourite Game" is actually about sex and war, both of which hockey only simulates.

Stomping Tom wrote a song about leaving for the US.

Not famous.
Bieber is infamous but at least people know who he is.

Wasn't Michael J Fox one of the top celebrities from Canada at one point?
