According to the Globe, David Miller is about to launch a song contest with a $5,000 prize to find a track that can “pay homage to Toronto’s amazing spirit and its unparalleled diversity,” a song that “people here, across Canada and around the globe will recognize as Toronto’s musical signature as we all move forward into the 21st century.” And though the Globe says that it “sounds like that song might suck,” before listing a few of the existing songs that could well be Toronto anthems (from “Spadina Bus” to “Ambulance Blues” to “I Get On (The TTC)”), and though we can’t seem to find any mention of it on the city’s website yet, darned if we don’t think that it’s a pretty great idea.
