Default Re: Justin Bieber or Gordon Lightfoot? Who's the greater Canadian icon?

Biebers mum is 38...she was 17 when he was born. Had a helluva tough life. Haters will hate but they have produced a young man who works very hard at what he does. He's a kid still facing all that the world has to offer and then try to take from him. While I am not a fan of his music stylings I do greatly admire that he has the ambition and drive to see his dream continue. A work ethic like that does not come without it's price and I certainly hope his mum and grandparents who travel with him keep on top of things so we dont' see what always seems inevitable with those whose stars shine so bright, so quickly..he's still a kid..and a kid from a very small town growing up in front of the world in a time where it's seems that some peoples life ambitions are to tear down those who succeed. As a wise man once said - "Do the best with what ya got."...and I think he's done very well...
