Gordon Lightfoot has died at the age of 84.
Calling him a Canadian icon or legend is an understatement.
He was one of our greatest singer-songwriters.
Born in Orillia, Ontario on Nov. 17, 1938, he had several #1 albums & songs.
He won 16 Junos.
RIP to a legend.

Remember all the warnings about "juice jacking" from public USB charging stations?

“You don’t ask ‘both sides’ to ‘discuss peace’ after an invasion. You tell the invader to leave. Those who want peace should be addressing their demands to Putin, not Zelensky,” Landsbergis wrote.
