On Monday, February 9, 2026, the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto will host the birthday party of the year, Stompin' Tom Connors 90th.  Leading a parade of very special guests will be Whiskey Jack, the band that stood with Tom on Parliament Hill, July 1, 1993, and sang what was to become an anthem in 2026..."We're shouting hooray, up Canada Way, When the maple leaf flies high".   This seminal event, Whiskey Jack's annual Stompin' Tom birthday celebration, has drawn Canadian celebrities from across the country, songsters that have joined Duncan and the band to honour one of the greatest Canadians ever, a man who devoted his entire career to the chant,  "Canada is not for sale".
