I do seriously think that while there are a lot of skewed ideas coming from elsewhere in the world about what Canada is about, as well as all the world politics, and world conflicts, and all the global fears, somebody like Gordon Lightfoot comes along and gives us all a distraction from all that. We can think about "heaven can be yours - just for now", or "a summertime dream", or travelling on that "Carefree Highway". That's what it's about.
