Alan has always been proud to carry Canada’s message of friendship and unity around the world, and today, he shares a song that speaks to that spirit. Check this out ⬇️
“I am thrilled and honoured to share this simple song with you today. A song, that I trust, invokes within you, the love, passion and respect, for all who have contributed to the tapestry of this great nation.
From the ancient beginnings of our magnificent Indigenous Peoples, to the times of those who made the ultimate sacrifice while fighting against the horrors of despotism and tyranny, Canada has, and always shall be…Strong & Free. When respected and honoured, Canada is a friend, an ally, and a beacon of hope for the millions she holds in her embrace today and for the millions yet to come. Canada is NOT a coin to be placed into a slot machine, nor a card to be turned over on a gambling table. Canada is NOT something to be politicized, bartered for, nor sold. I trust you will enjoy and embrace this simple song. A song and a tale that chooses no sides in the elitist, political arena. It comes to you as a celebration of Canada’s beauty and as a call to action, encouraging you to cherish and protect the freedoms we enjoy today. With Glass Tiger, I have travelled the world carrying Canada’s message of friendship, including, to almost every “nook and cranny” within the great nation we call the USA. While travelling and performing there I have shared wonderful times with great people, who, like most of us, want only to live in peace and harmony with the rest of the world. I have also broken bread and shared fellowship in war zones with the brave men and women of our militaries, allied together to defend the freedoms that so many take for granted. My friends, whether you be Canadian, American, or from wherever you call home, this is “Canada’s Song,” and I am asking a favour of you today. PLEASE SHARE don’t just hit the like button. SHARE the video with your loved ones, your friends, your neighbours, your cat and dog if ya have one. SHARE IT TO THE WORLD! Let’s rescue our freedom from the clutches of those who would have us bow to their self-serving whims.
Thank you in peace and harmony, Alan ❤️”

This week we have a very special LIFE FREW MUSIC episode. Glass Tiger joins the pod!
Alan sits down with bandmates Sam Reid and Al Connelly to tell the REAL story behind one of Canada’s most iconic bands.
From basement rehearsals in small-town Ontario… to grinding through bar gigs, high schools, and thousands of shows… to global hits like “Don’t Forget Me When I’m Gone” and “Someday”…
This is the journey no one saw.
They open up about:
- How Glass Tiger was actually formed (from TWO broken bands)
- The years of struggle before success
- Writing two hit songs in ONE day
- Touring with Journey & Tina Turner
- Meeting legends like Paul McCartney
- The sacrifices behind the music
- And what music really means at a human level
This isn’t just a music story — it’s a story about persistence, identity, and legacy.
@glasstiger and @trooper brought a co-headlining show to OLG Stage in Niagara Falls for a celebration of ’70s and ’80s Canadian rock music. #GlassTiger #Trooper #OLGStage #NiagaraFalls #rock #showreview #cancon
