Prime Minister Mark Carney introduced Joni Mitchell by describing her first-ever live performance at a Saskatchewan coffee house.<\/p>\n
“Through 19 studio albums, a career spanning more than six decades, Joni drew a map of Canada, oh Canada,” he said, eliciting cheers from the crowd with the reference to A Case of You.<\/p>\n
Carney listed Bob Dylan, Sarah McLachlan and Annie Lennox as only some of the artists who covered her songs.<\/p>\n
Mitchell took the stage, as the crowd erupted in applause.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Good evening Hamilton, I haven’t been here in many, many years, but I’m so glad to be here tonight with our wonderful prime minister,” Mitchell said, before giving a slight dig to the U.S. and again expressing her happiness to be in Hamilton.<\/p>\n
“We are so lucky,” she said.<\/p>\n
“I want to thank the Junos for this great honour. I\u2019m so glad to be back in Canada.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PM introduces Joni Mitchell as Lifetime Achievement Award winner Prime Minister Mark Carney introduced Joni Mitchell by describing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":553619,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[88,216],"class_list":["post-553618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=553618"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553618\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/553619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=553618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=553618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=553618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
