TORONTO — Country singer Dallas Smith isn't looking to stir the political pot, but he admits it’s no coincidence that his upcoming Canadian concert tour is booked for 51 dates.

In a wink to Donald Trump’s threats of making Canada the 51st state, the British Columbia-born country singer and frontman of rock band Default says he’s investing in his homeland with an acoustic tour that rolls through 51 communities starting this fall.

"We were close to that number and then we said let's just make that happen," he said with a laugh in a recent interview.

“It was important for me to come, especially at this time, (with) a lot of Canadian pride. I want to get out there, really go hard, and visit all these places that I haven't been and see the country."
