Couldn't help but notice that list is awful. Apart from Leonard Cohen you could lose the rest, then add in Broken Social Scene, Arcade Fire, Cadence Weapon and Swollen Members. But hey, I don't need convincing, I'm going to VC and it's gonna be awesome. Jobs, a vibrant cultural scene, a sunny disposition and weed. That sentence kicks the sh*t out of life here.

WHAT?! In terms of JUST music, Joni Mitchell is far from awful. The Band is far from awful. NEIL YOUNG is DEFINITELY far from awful! The feck are you on, buddy?

Surely your taking about British Columbia. I have news for you buddy, it's sunny in the summer but by jesus is it rainy in the winter. I mean serious rain. Rain that pisses all over Irish rain.

Thinking on it, the awesome people/musicians/acts/artists/actors to come out of Canada totally make up for the eejits:

Dan Aykroyd (Blues Brothers, anyone?)
The Band
Barenaked Ladies (don't care if they're not your musical taste, they're brilliant guys)
John Candy
Jim Carrey (depending on your tastes.. not mine, but lots of people love him)
Cirque de Soleil
Leonard Cohen
Michael J. Fox
the Group of Seven
The Guess Who (writers of the song American Woman)
Rachel McAdams
Loreena McKennitt
Sarah McLachlan
Deepa Mehta (director of the film Water, which was phenomenal)
Joni Mitchell (absolute revolutionary singer/songwriter!)
Alanis Morrisette
Sandra Oh
Matthew Perry (yes, Chandler is a canuck)
Rush

Lack of the Tragically Hip duly noted. Please try harder next time.

I listen to the Hip, too

My bad.

Nah, I just couldn't be bothered listing everything tbh. There's way too many brilliant Canadian musicians out there to list them all. And most of them you wouldn't realise are Canadian in the first place. We have a couple flops (Nickelback, Avril Lavigne, Bryan Adams, Celine Dion) but we have well than more than enough talent to make up for it.
