The Tragically Hip are a national treasure. No one comes close to telling Canadian stories and showcasing true Canadiana through music.

The final show of the Man Machine Poem tour live from Kingston united a country. All of Canada sang along for 2 hours and 42 minutes.

When we lost Gordie, all of Canada lost a friend. But the music of the Hip will live forever.

We petition Catherine Tait, president and CEO of the CBC to use her power to continue to rebroadcast the commercial free event every year on August 20.
