new "'Polaris Prize' to go to 'best Canadian Album'

“I also watched artists such as The Arcade Fire, Kathleen Edwards, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Sarah Harmer, The Weakerthans, Buck 65, The Constantines, K-OS, Feist and Broken Social Scene are embraced by journalists and progressive radio programmers in Canada before anyone anywhere else in the world. With Polaris, we will harness that energy and turn it into something that Canadian music fans will get excited about.” [News Wire]
