That wasn't exactly what he said. He brought up Trudeau and the First Nations twice, and in a roundabout way, mentioned the need for all of us to fix the last hundred years.

Kudos for bringing that up as the sole political message of the show. And kudos for everything that the band has accomplished. I've seen them at dozens of shows, and even at one of their very small album release parties. I saw five of their shows in one week in 1990 at the Silver City in Banff, with about a dozen people in the room for the first three shows, when I could reach out and touch their guitars as I stood five feet away while mesmorized by their performance. They once linked to one of my published reviews from the main page of their site, almost overwhelming my own site with traffic. They played a show at my university on the night my grandfather died. We covered a dozen of their songs over the years when I used to play in a band. So many associations, and so many memories. Essentially, they've been the most significant part of the soundtrack to my life.

What an emotional night ...
