Maybe. I don’t like Salinger, he was a mean-spirited writer who seemed to dislike almost everyone.
Actually, I need to apologize; “The Voice of Canada” was actually Lorne Greene (RIP)
Of course it would be fun to think of Geddy Lee getting up on stage… and before starting his concert start to hum the theme from Bonanza:
♫ Bum Badda-bum Badda-bum Badda-bum Badda-bum-bum!
♫ Bum Badda-bum Badda-bum Badda-bum Badda-bum… Bum… da-bum-bum bum!
♫ Bum Badda-bum Badda-bum Badda-bum Badda-bum-bum!
♫ Bum Badda-bum Badda-bum Badda-bum Badda-bum… Bum… da-bum-bum bum!
♫ Badda-bum
♫ Badda-bum
♫Bum da-bum bum-bum
♫Bum Badda-bum Badda-bum Badda-bum Badda-bum-bum!
♫Bum…!
♫Bum…!
Of course there’s no way he’d duplicate the burning map effect.
Maybe he could light a joint…?
He was succeeded by St Peter Mansbridge. 
There are many Canadian voices. Wayne and Shuster. Leonard Cohen. Rick Mercer. Celine Dion. Mike Myers. But not anyone from Rush, who might only appeal to their overwrought fans…
Quoted from Wikipedia, “Afterward, he was assigned as the principal newsreader on the CBC National News, with CBC gave him the nickname “The Voice of Canada”. However, following Canada’s entry into World War II in 1939, his role in delivering distressing war news in sonorous tones with his deep, resonant voice caused many listeners to call him “The Voice of Doom”, especially as he was delegated the dreaded list of soldiers killed in the war.”
.
Peter Mansbridge was a news announcer hounded into retirement for the crime of accepting “speaking fees” at events where he gave speeches outside of his normal working hours at the CBC.
( Is there some controversy or slight re: Lorne Greene that makes you associate him with scandal? True, Battlestar Galactica was a Star Wars rip off, but I don’t see George Lucas collecting food stamps because of it. Lorne had to pay his bills somehow. )
The voice of Canada is Burton Cummings, everyone knows that.
If you could read my mind, love, you could tell who’s the voice of Canada.
Stappit, people! You’re making me think of Cobie Smulders, drinking her first cup of hot fresh brewed coffee, under soft lighting, at a Tim Hortons.
( God, I think she’s humming “Oh Canada”! )
Actually I have no problem with Lorne Greene and TBH completely forgot about the 1970s Battlestar Galactica until now.
I’d think she’d probably be humming O Canada.
Another great choice, and interestingly, Burton does an awesome impression.
Your Cobie Smulders daydreams might be slightly different from mine. Was she wearing red Dolce & Gabbana high heels in yours?
Come to think of it, that’s probably enough of that subject for a respectable message board.
Look at the spelling of the anthem title. 
… just as soon as I get back from my bunk…
wasn’t he 18 til he died … and now is in … heaven?
A recent winner of the Pretension Sweepstakes is Dr. Peter McCullough, a cardiologist whose reputation plummeted drastically during the pandemic for promoting crank antivax views while morphing into a supplement huckster selling a “Spike Detox” formula.
His fans recently trumpeted McCullough’s being given a Top Internist/Cardiologist award from the International Association of Top Professionals and being “feted on Nasdaq Tower in NY” which sounds really impressive, until you discover that the IAOTP describes itself as “an international boutique networking organization” consisting of a “group of publishers, IT experts, PR, Marketing and Branding professionals”.
That isn’t quite the same as being recognized by your medical colleagues.
Such an award has about as much credibility as the Top Doctor promotions I used to get in the mail, informing me that I had been named a Top Pathologist with the opportunity to purchase a framed certificate for my office and a directory which listed me and other exalted professionals.
No doubt there are a few nitwits who hang these certificates in their offices to fool the gullible into thinking they’re the real deal. If I ever spotted such a thing in the office of a physician I was consulting I would run, not walk to find a different practitioner.
This reminds me of the Arrested Development episode where they give themselves an award.
Something my husband’s family has actually done.
Don’t forget to buy your ancestral coat of arms on the way out. There’s one for every name. Even Namaguchi.
Who?
Top…professionals.
