In 2003 , MacIsaac was alleged to have made a racist statement on stage , at a show where he reportedly accused an Asian woman in the audience of spreading SARS . He subsequently stated that the comment was intended as an ironic parody of racism , and sued the '' Ottawa Citizen '' for misrepresenting the statement as racist when in fact he was speaking out against racial profiling happening in Canada at the time . In 2005 , MacIsaac signed on with Linus Entertainment , forming a rock band with himself on lead vocals and guitar . In 2010 , MacIsaac wrote a charity single , " Dreams " , to benefit Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong , a skier from Ghana who was the first Ghanaian athlete ever to compete in the Winter Olympics . In addition to Matthew Harder of the band House of Doc and Geoffrey Kelly , Vince Ditrich and Tobin Frank of the band Spirit of the West , Nkrumah-Acheampong himself participated in the recording , playing traditional Ghanaian percussion . The single , credited to the Parallel Band , was released to iTunes on February 19 , 2010 . MacIsaac also performed in the opening ceremonies for the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver
