Valentine's Day for famous Canadians: Jann Arden, Michael Smith, Nancy Robertson and more

Jann Arden, Chef Michael Smith, Corner Gas star Nancy Robertson and others talk about the most romantic day of the year.

By Julie Hunter

"Between you and me, I think EVERY day should be Valentine's Day. Not necessarily because of the candy -- well, maybe a little -- but more so because of the sentiment the day brings. Unless Cupid decides to strike me with his trusty arrow sometime before February 14, my plans for that special occasion will include spending even more quality time with my cutie, Miss Louise. She's my loveable, furry, four-legged best friend and since Valentine's Day is all about love and spending time with those you adore, my pooch is a perfect date!"
-- Tanya Kim, co-host of CTV's E-Talk Daily
"My favourite Valentine's Day happened awhile back, when I was touring heavily with the album Mad, Mad World. It was Valentine's Day and I was on the road yet again. I checked myself into the hotel I would be staying at that night and proceeded to unpack my suitcase when I found a Valentine's Day card from my wife stuffed into my suitcase. As I opened the card a photo slipped out of it of my wife in a bustier in bed with a giant cardboard cutout of me playing my guitar, with a huge grin on her face. I laughed so hard. It was very cute."
-- Tom Cochrane
"I've always kind of looked at Valentine's Day from the outside looking in. For many years I chose not to have anyone in particular to celebrate Valentine's Day with, but now, I have started to write a pretty album -- which coincidentally is bringing out the sensitive side in me -- and I've developed a conscience and am even trying my hand at a relationship. I think what's going to happen this Valentine's Day is I'm going to take this special lady to my place a couple hours north of Toronto and cook dinner for her, and because I am such a fantastic cook and such great company she is going to have a great time!"
-- Kim Mitchell
"Since I don't have a partner right now I'd like to make Valentine's Day a day where I focus on pampering myself by treating myself to a really nice bath and buy myself chocolates and make myself feel really good. I just want to focus on being good to me."
-- Serena Ryder
