  • On Don Cherry's Citizenship in the Six String Nation
    Why I’m revoking Don Cherry’s citizenship in the Six String Nation. The Six String Nation project was conceived in the divisive atmosphere of the lead up to the 1995 Quebec Referendum on sovereignty. Referenda are necessarily divisive. They take complex problems and cast them as simple choices, usually just between Yes or No. The media took its cues accordingly and the whole debate was framed as blue vs. red, Quebec vs. Ottawa, French vs. English. Even the responses of the rest of Canadians whom the referendum made mere bystanders could only be funnelled into the polarities of “Don’t Go” and “Good Riddance”. But how was that referendum supposed to account for the voices of indigenous people in Quebec, or francophones outside of Quebec or any of the thousands of other perspectives there are on what it is to be Canadian? Well, of course it wasn’t meant to. So the Six String Nation project was meant to invite those conversations by putting diverse histories and perspectives from different communities and cultures and characters into one object - a guitar - the very essence of which is to create harmony out of internal tensions. It would exist not only as an object that illustrated that complex truth but also as a living instrument through which those who played it and those who heard it could articulate those perspectives in their own way in their own place and time. Given my experience shepherding the project around the country and beyond, I can say that it has succeeded in doing just that in however small a way.

It was under review is the reply from Ottawa! In 2013, there were four Meritorious Service Cross (civil) awarded in Canada. No MSCs had not been given since 21 April 2005. It was an odd mixture - of the four MSCs, one already had an MSC (military) and would receive an Officer of the Order of Canada within a year (Chis Hadfield); one already had the Order of Canada (Clara Hughes) and one had died (Sarah Burke). The other was to the Mayor of Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. All were well deserved. And all looked very political. This then raises the question, will the MSM (civil) again be awarded or will this become a little used medal. In the past, Canadians who received Olympic gold medals received Meritorious Service Decorations but this stopped with the review. I know several of the MSM (civil) recipients and they are outstanding citizens, well deserving of their honour and they wear the honour proudly. Suddenly, in the Canada Gazette of 02 January 2016, a large number of MSC and MSM (civil) awards were announced. No other announcement about what the review found or request for nominations.

  • Media Information Updated June 1St, 2009
    Media Information Updated June 1st, 2009 Six String Nation is the spirit of a country embodied in a single guitar. Canada. Its diversity of geographies, histories, mythologies, languages, literature, art, food, sport and industry all find a place in the body of the Six String Nation guitar, in the music coaxed from its strings by those who play it and in the imagination of all who encounter it. The guitar is made from 63 items of real Canadian history and heritage in wood, bone, metal and stone representing different cultures, communities and characters from every province and territory of the country. A handful of additional pieces adorn the guitar strap and the interior of the case. Each piece tells a specific story. Eleven years after its conception, the guitar made its official debut on Canada Day, July 1, 2006, on Parliament Hill in Ottawa in the hands of Stephen Fearing, Joel Fafard, Colin Linden, Tom Wilson, Mighty Popo, La Volée d’Castors, Michel Pagliaro, Jean-François Breau, Kyle Riabko, Aselin Debison and Stars. Since then, it has traveled more than 200,000km across Canada, been played by hundreds of different musicians and been held by thousands of Canadians – pros, amateurs and posers alike – at festivals, concerts, schools and community events. In February 2008, at a press conference to launch the 39th Festival du Voyageur in Winnipeg-St.Boniface, MB, the Six String Nation guitar was officially given the nickname suggested by contest entrant Lt. Col. Susan Beharriell of the Canadian Armed Forces: Voyageur. The ongoing mission of Voyageur and the Six String Nation project is to encourage Canadians to tell the story of Canada from a multitude of perspectives, to know and embrace our diversity as a kind of commonality and to celebrate the power of music – a language that Canada speaks better than just about anyone in the world.
