Shania Speaking of the film festival!!! Have you James, bathedperformers, Twain, Charlie Major, Prairie ever seen so much press salivating over movie stars presenters and winners in a sea of Oyster, Jimmy Rankin, Jake Leiske who aren't? Grovel! Grovel! Grovel! And the fans colour. Last year's Hamilton of Farmer's Daughter, Lisa Brokop, are worse. Every once in awhile, Torontonions like audience paled in comparison to the Terri Clark, Jason McCoy, Lavvnie to remind the world that Toronto is really enthusiastic rush of energies Wallace, Duane Steele, and a whole "hogtown".

They know in making a presentation to Shania Twain, he forgot how to put on a show, and the country music week where the award was, and Paul Alofs and Deane that preceded the show? Again, it was that Calgary Cameron, who came to his rescue, weren't much attitude that made the four days so successful. I better.
