Canadian music legend Stompin’ Tom Connors passed away Wednesday. He was 77. His contribution to Canadian culture has been well-documented, and the outpouring of grief on social media this evening speaks to what he meant to Canadians young and old.
Rest in peace, Stompin’ Tom.
Oh MAN. He was a legend.Report
What? No hockey song?
When I was in Alberta on July 1 and asked some locals to sing Oh Canada, they didn’t know the words but they sang the hockey song just fine.Report
This manages to combine three things I love: Stompin’ Tom songs, Ramones, and Slap Shot references:

Never heard of him, but I liked the song up top.Report
Is it just a coincidence that in this video he looks just like Rand Paul in a cowboy hat?Report

And everyone said a filibuster wouldn’t hurt anyone.Report
