My three favorite Canadian bands/musicians are Stan Rogers
(sadly, dead now; but his music is still wonderful),  The
Arrogant Worms (I *love* "Carrot Juice is Murder"), and 54-40. 
Though I like rather a lot of others--Alanis Morrisette (I know
Laurie doesn't like her voice, but I do :)), Nellie Furtado, etc.

Ever hear of the Young Dubliners?  They'll probably never make it
huge, but they do have a distinctive style. (My life was not
complete until I heard "The Leaving of Liverpool" in a punk
style.)  They're not Canadian (obviously), but they certainly
are, um, interesting. :) And fun to see in concert!
