What a beautiful documentary. Ethereally, beautifully shot. Heartbreaking yet healing story. I used to watch Stacyann Chin on Def Poetry Jam back in the day. This was a wonderful story. Very relatable. Director is a fellow U of Guelph grad. Just beautiful!

Lots of Hip on this list. It was my way of keeping both my spirits and my elbows up. Canada has a lot of challenges ahead. If we have Hip songs on heavy rotation, we can beat just about anything we may face.

4) The Hip are from Kingston, Ontario, a town that has had many economic ups and downs. Their songs often address financial, social and cultural hardships experienced by many Canadians. They make Canadians feel seen, and that's why we love them. Also, Carney obviously loves Canadian music.

3) The chorus evokes poor folk "lining up' and "waiting on the trickle down" that is "taking time to get around", while the affluent "belly up" to a bar to consume "all the drinks" that "are on the crown". The Crown references government corporations.
