Arguably one of the most popular and respected US TV News anchors was a Canadian: Peter Jennings hosted the ABC World News Tonight from 1978 until his death in 2005. Canadian music stars who have become famous worldwide include singers Celine Dion, Alanis Morissette and Avirkl Lavigne, as well as Bryan Adams, a singer, guitarist and songwriter, and the singing poet, Leonard Cohen. Interstingly, while Canadian actors and musicians often choose to pursue their careers down south, American film crews come to Canadian cities to shoot urban film footage, as it is less expensive than in the US. Canadians, then, have much to brag about; they are just too polite to mention it!
