Never heard of Loreena, but I do enjoy Celine. But I don't see much
significance in the fact that lots of Canadian's have been sucessfull
in the music business. What's significant is their music.
I do understand rooting for the home team and I take special interest
in music coming from the Detroit area--but I wouldn't expect that to
matter much to someone from another area.
So, being from another area, it doesn't mean much to me that all
the above mentioned people are Canadians.
What significance do you attach to it?
