Let’s talk about the last 24 hours for a minute. Yesterday morning I came to work, as I do every day. For the most part I was expecting a relatively normal day knowing that by the late afternoon our coverage of events at the JUNO Awards in Saskatoon would be needing my attention.  But at 9:30am something happened that would lead to the largest cascading cancellation event I have ever experienced in all my years in this industry.

As I stood waiting to enter the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto, I knew the night was going to be weird. There was a person in front of me with a multi-colored mohawk and behind me there were two young people with matching outfits designed to look like bags of Flaming Hot Cheetos. It was a diverse audience that came out to see Oliver Tree and the energy among them was very high.
