Rather than spell out all the many reasons we think Bruce Cockburn is an absolute treasure, I thought I’d just pass along a quote I read in yesterday’s Globe and Mail as a random example. The question to Mr. Cockburn was simply “What are your thoughts on Canada hosting the upcoming G8 and G20 conferences?”
He replies, “Meetings of nations are always better than not having meetings of nations. I think, however, they should have their meetings on that island of floating plastic (garbage) in the Pacific. They should sit there, and look at that and make their decisions.”
