Frankv - the CRT is a very profound song for Canadians when you really know the history of Canada being settled by the English and French, the injustices to the native peoples, the movement west and the introduction of our own government which brought the rail line from sea to sea into fruition. My daughter studied it this year in Gr. 7 and I always had CRT running through my head as I helped her understand her lessons. The way Lightfoot captured every detail of the above mentioned things about Canada back in the 1860-1870 time period makes me believe that CRT should be printed in every Canadian history text book across this country.
Oh the song of the future has been sung....
