Not that celebrities matter in the grand scheme of things but was anyone else a little disappointed in the lack of public support or feelings towards Gord Downie and the Tragically Hip dating back to his diagnoses from Canada's huge celebrity community?

Especially these days where Canadian artists are a more powerful force than ever in music. You've got Drake, Beiber, Alessia Cara, The Weeknd, Sean Mendes etc all topping the charts and so many more in film and TV, and the CBC and other media had to reach so far for anything, basically posting a few "So sad to hear (Canadian flag icon) -Seth Rogan" type comments.

I figured we'd hear about more than a few celebrities making it a point in their lives to see the Hip one more time on their last tour, and figured we'd even see a big number at the final show with "I wouldn't miss this for the world" type proclamations.

But really just a whole lot of nothing, seems the Hip meant way more to the rest of Canada than our celebrity community.
