Drake isn’t the only rapper with a claim to Toronto.

Jazz Cartier, whose excellent debut album Marauding In Paradise is filled with Toronto-isms, is doing a mighty good job of his own to romanticize the 6.

10 Anti-Stephen Harper Songs

Blue Rodeo

Blue Rodeo

A few days before the Canadian federal election Sarah was commissioned to find a bunch of anti-Stephen Harper songs.

It wasn’t difficult.
