This is absolutely incredible, but it still seems a little odd that their final tour is getting even bigger now but is still the "Ontario and West tour".
Four more shows added, all to existing tour stops. Obviously I realize it's easier to add to existing stops than continue trekking across Canada, but it kind of kills the theory that the extra days in between shows were for rest for Gord, as it almost seems now they were added for flexibility for more shows.
I guess I kind of see going all the way to the maritimes when they're biggest venue is a small hockey arena in Halifax doesn't make sense, but the lack of Quebec seems odd.
Although, it definitely makes me proud as a westerner as I know we've always been huge hip fans out here and four shows in Alberta on a small farewell tour is pretty awesome!
