I'm pretty sure this is Canada's greatest export, Subby.

The only Canadian export that's flatter than Neil Young is a Beavertail.

I didn't know Beiber was that old.  Makes hanging out with all the young ladies kinda creepy, eh?

One of the things I love about neil young is that he worked with and was a sporadic creative partner with rick james.


The two guys couldn't be further apart musically, but the fact that they're connected is kind of badass.

I think subby meant in terms of cultural value, not in terms of how glad we are to be rid of them.

/Which would be Ted Cruz anyway..

Ugh...king of the douche bags.

The greatest person Canada sent to us is the late/great John Candy.

no idea what this absolute banger from St Etienne has to do with Canada, aside from that Moira Lambert's wikipage mentions Neil Young and Joni Mitchell...

For me, Neil Young will always be emblematic of a certain kind of humourless, dour, lefty, Boomer dog-walking, Toronto beaches-living Dipper asshat.

And his singing annoys the shiat out of me.

The best might be a bit of a stretch though. He is definitely good (take Only Love, for example). So one of the best maybe.
