First Canadian band I thought of was Arcade Fire, which is certainly a +1 or +2 (while we're on the topic of Canada)

Yah, Canadians tend to make fun of Celine Dion and Brian Adams, but foreigners seem to like them. Who knows why.

Well, I'm American, so the only Canadian band I both know of and like is Annihilator. Alice in Hell is a classic.

Rush are pretty good, but the coolest thing about them is they appeared on Trailer Park Boys, which is the best thing to come out of Canada, since, well forever!

I'd probably listen to them a lot more if I had heard of them sooner.

Agreed--- I'm looking forward to the new movie Countdown to Liquor Day.

Being Erica is also pretty good, but only because the main actress is my cousin, and I'm a bit biased.

@Agent Dink, have you heard TFK's new album, "Welcome to the Masquerade"? I really like it, and it's pretty popular on iTunes.
