The White Stripes are embarking on a Canadian tour (that’s the ten provinces and three territories…a possible revelation to some upper Canadian and West Coast bands).

Having never done a full tour of Canada, Meg and I thought it was high time to go whole hog. We want to take this tour to the far reaches of the Canadian landscape. From the ocean to the permafrost. The best way for us to do that is ensure that we perform in every province and territory in the country, from the Yukon to Prince Edward Island. Another special moment of this tour is the show which will occur in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia on July 14th, The White Stripes’ Tenth Anniversary —Jack White

Note: I heard that Jack White (originally a Gillis) has family connections in Antigonish…where is the Chuggles show?

* Somehow I didn’t know this place existed.
