He is sacred on the Greek island of Hydra too. They just renamed a street after him in Kamini, the village where he lived for many years. He was called the man with a guitar. Villages used to sit with him while he played.

Honestly, I don't remember him brought up much when I lived in Montreal. He's definitely revered at least a little elsewhere in Canada though.

A lot of those montreal Cohen tributes are just opportunistic crap. Lose and out of tune. Not the kind of thing he would have gone for. They all waited for him to die before profiting from his creativity. Gross.
