Canada for Beginners: Ever heard of Stompin' Tom? Know him and know Canada
Stompin' Tom Connors was a Canadian country singer who was very Canadian. He was also rather idiosyncratic, and he wrote song lyrics like "The girls are out to Bingo and the boys are gettin' stinko; And we think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday night." Like I said -- very Canadian.
