It is unclear why Mitchell has opted to take up dual citizenship at this time in her life.<\/p>\n
Two years ago, fronting a Joni Jam at the Hollywood Bowl, she blasted US President Donald Trump and lamented not being in a position to formally have her voice heard.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cF*** Donald Trump. I wish I could vote\u2026 I\u2019m a Canadian. I\u2019m one of those lousy immigrants.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Big Yellow Taxi hitmaker previously described Los Angeles as her \u201cworkplace\u201d and British Columbia, where she has property, as her \u201cheartbeat\u201d.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Mitchell, who stepped out of the spotlight for some time after suffering a brain aneurysm in 2015, returned to Canada for the first time in \u201cmany, many years\u201d to accept a Lifetime Achievement honour at the Juno Awards in Hamilton, Ontario.<\/p>\n
Accepting the prize from Prime Minister Mark Carney, she said: \u201cWe are so fortunate to have him. I\u2019m living in the States and you know what\u2019s happening there.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome years ago \u2013 10 or 12 years ago, I forget how long ago \u2013 I had an aneurysm, which changed my life, oddly, for the better.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy home\u2019s filled up with the most wonderful nurses. I was on the road with men for years and years, now I live with a house full of women, and I have a fantastic therapist [who] goes everywhere with me. So my life has changed for the better out of a catastrophe, like a phoenix who grows a better life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He wrote: \u201cCongrats, Joan!
