Neil Young Says 'Canada Is Back,' Praises Carbon Tax
VANCOUVER — Music icon Neil Young has declared that "Canada is back" now that a Liberal government has taken charge in Ottawa.
"I'm very happy,'' said the 70-year-old Canadian who has lived in California for years.
The singer-songwriter was in Vancouver on Monday to debut his high-resolution audio player and online store, under the PonoMusic brand, in Canada.
Young said he's received many emails and phone calls from Canadian friends revelling in the new government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Obviously people are delighted with the change that has taken place. It's very positive news."
He wished the newly minted cabinet well on the same day provincial premiers were meeting in Ottawa to discuss a national strategy on climate change, an issue he has also championed.
He said he's hopeful officials will take different action than the former Conservative government, but then said corporations have more money and power than governments.
