The Band are my favourite Canadian band, (although Levon Helm was from the Southern States)
Then there's Neil Young, and Joni Mitchell though i'm not a huge fan of hers, blue is a great album though

Yeah, Our Lady Peace.
If no one has heard Danko Jones, you should really check out the album 'Born A Lion'. It rocks.
