This is a huge accomplishment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3172145\" data-originallang=\"en\">Often when we think of the arts in Canada, the opera, the ballet and the symphony come to mind. However, it is in the ramshackle clubs, the backrooms, the storefronts and the church basements of the nation where most of the artists that Canada is so rightly proud of first learned their craft.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3172146\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Horseshoe has always been a leader in this tradition, providing a valuable training ground for at the time unknowns from Stompin' Tom to Nickelback, k.d. lang to The Tragically Hip, and even a couple of future MPs. No one does this kind of thing because it makes a lot of money. People do it because they love music. They want to share that music and they believe in the great talent that we have here in Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3172147\" data-originallang=\"en\">Today I want to pay tribute to one of the longest-running live music venues in North America by wishing a happy 65th anniversary to the Horseshoe Tavern. Thanks for helping put Canadian music on the map.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3172144\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, la Horseshoe Tavern, v\u00e9ritable institution culturelle au Canada, vient de f\u00eater son 65<sup>e</sup> anniversaire. Quelle magnifique r\u00e9ussite.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3172145\" data-originallang=\"en\">Lorsqu'on pense aux arts au Canada, l'op\u00e9ra, le ballet et la musique symphonique nous viennent \u00e0 l'esprit. Toutefois, c'est dans les bo\u00eetes de nuit modestes et les arri\u00e8re-salles, devant les magasins et dans les sous-sols d'\u00e9glise que la plupart des artistes qui font, \u00e0 juste titre, la fiert\u00e9 du Canada, ont appris le m\u00e9tier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3172146\" data-originallang=\"en\">La Horseshoe Tavern a toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e0 l'avant-garde de cette tradition, ayant permis \u00e0 des artistes de faire leurs premi\u00e8res armes, avant qu'ils soient connus, notamment Stompin' Tom, Nickelback, k.d. lang et The Tragically Hip, et m\u00eame quelques d\u00e9put\u00e9s en devenir. Personne ne fait cela pour faire un coup d'argent. Ceux qui le font le font par amour de la musique. Ils veulent faire profiter les autres de cette musique et ils croient au talent que nous avons ici au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3172147\" data-originallang=\"en\">Aujourd'hui, je veux rendre hommage \u00e0 l'une des plus vieilles sc\u00e8nes musicales d'Am\u00e9rique du Nord en souhaitant un joyeux 65<sup>e</sup> anniversaire \u00e0 la Horseshoe Tavern. Merci de faire conna\u00eetre la musique canadienne.</p>"
