Polaris Music Prize

One of Canada’s best bands just surprised a lot of people and won an award. This is huge.

Now a bunch of journalists are scratching their heads about how to write an article about a band whose name they cannot mention. Not a single question was asked at the press conference.

Somehow, this pyramid of balloons and colourful parasols completely eclipsed the National War Memorial looking north on Elgin Street. A few more photos on xtra.ca but you’d already know that if you followed me on Twitter.
