Wow. Hard choice. I guess it used to be Ian Tyson (folk/cowboy singer-song writer for those who may not know him). Now it's Wayne Gretzky. But, there's the old Second City TV gang, lots of singers, Dan Aykroyd, Will Arnett, that Ryan Reynolds kid. . .

Okay, let me think about it some more. 🤨

Ian and Sylvia! How about the famous tune he composed? Four Strong Winds. A classic.

@SW-User Yes, Tyson wrote so many great songs! "Four Strong WInds" is a favorite among Canadians, right? And how many singers have recorded "Someday Soon"?

Yes. Peter, Paul and Mary prob made the most famous version. I think many other people besides Canucks love the song.
