The verdict
Born in Mission, British Columbia, and raised on the West Coast, Carly Rae Jepsen sold the world 'Call Me Maybe' and then spent the rest of her career making increasingly excellent pop albums that Canada appreciated more than most. Still Canadian, still great, still from Mission, BC. Give her a call, maybe.
