blood sweat: I told her I really thought it was an excellent song and very well-written, lyrical and musically, according to CBC. Coleman wanted to give the song a new life with a new rendition in time for Canada 150. Don Coleman says it was a bit of serendipity that led to him crossing paths with Jeanette Arsenault, whose parents and extended family are Islanders, and discover her song Mon Cher Canada/This is My Canada. He invited a roster of Canadian artists and session musicians to take part, including David Clayton Thomas of Blood Sweat and Tears, the Good Brothers, and Acadian vocalist Wilfrid LeBoutilier, among others. It was a piano-based song... as well the lyrics touched me as I was listening to the first verse for the first time. I started listening to it and it really pulled at my heartstrings.
