CANADIAN PRIDE

With wife Luisana by his side, Juno Awards host Michael Bublé celebrates fellow music stars — and his home and native land

- 

There were plenty of reasons to celebrate at the 55th annual Juno Awards: the artists, the music and, of course, Canada! Kicking off the Vancouver show with patriotic energy, B.C. native Michael Bublé was visibly moved as he looked out into the crowd. "Bottom line, we love this country," declared the "Home" singer and dad of four. "When you love something, you show up for it... We're formidable because we're fearless, because we don't just acknowledge our differences, we embrace them."

Going on to celebrate Canadians from all walks of life, Michael concluded, "Folks, we're one of a kind. We are proud, we are beautiful. We are the greatest nation on Earth. And," he added pointedly, to a roar of applause, "we are not for sale."
