Welcome to March.
Did I choose March because it starts with the same letter as "Maple Leaf"? Maybe. More likely I started it because the Junos take place in March - for now. It seems to be slowly moving to April.
Which makes it even weirder that I started the month with never-nominated Sophie Powers, a Toronto native who has made great music tailor-made for the TikTok generation. Co-written by the artist (no, Powers is not her real last name and the credits tell me that), the song is very much a declaration of independence by an musician who is making bold, different music from a nation who refuses to be annexed by the United States.
THAT'S as political as I will ever get here.
She has performed a stripped-down version of the song live, which shows me that she's both not manufactured (a little cringe, in fact) and is a uniquely talented performer.
