REVIEW: It’s a Good Life — but is it a good time? Three critics weigh in.
So much of Canadian identity is a sense of place and the actual, physical spaces that we're in. One song where this jumped out for me was "Bobcaygeon," where they’re walking around in falling snow. It put me right into a moment of walking across a frozen lake in Northern Ontario, seeing stars in a dark sky. It almost made me cry to see someone on stage experience that, and have that sort of connection with a physical place in Canada.
