Key quotes
· 3 pulledI don't know if you knew this, but Elton John is not Canadian. In fact, he is very not Canadian. He's as British as they come.
But that did not stop the luminaries of the Canadian music business from honoring Elton John on Saturday night.
Honorees don't necessarily have to show up to the event, but Elton John was in the building.
