Canada=Awesomeness. Any country that tells Trump to get bent....and has produced bands like April Wine, Rush, The Guess Who, Barenaked Ladies, Nickelback, Arcade Fire, The Tragically Hip, Sum 41, and Our Lady Peace...is my friend. #Canada

Jack you lost me at Nickleback; and April Wine…(blurry) You just should have left it at NEIL YOUNG.
And Bryan Adams, Prism, BTO, Loverboy, Chilliwack, Trooper and Max Webster!!!!!
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thanks!!
I can't believe everyone on this thread forgot about Rush. A1 classic rock band. and to a lesser extent, the McKenzie brothers. lol www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jm4...
Can’t forget about Neil Young!
Indeed! Cinnamon Girl is the first song I ever learned to play on guitar....38 years ago.
I love the song. A few friends & I would sing along w/his music.
Oscar Peterson, Gowan too.
Don’t forget the indomitable Michael J Fox.
Keanu Reeves.. ❤️
Hawaii also claims him for his father’s heritage & name & time spent in the islands! Beautiful human!
Don't forget Cowboy Junkies. Saw them in the late 90's.
Celine Dion, Jann Arden, Joni Mitchell, Diana Krall, Bryan Adams, The Band, Mother,Mother!
So many greats!
Gordon Lightfoot, Bruce Cockburn, Long John Baldry, Doug & The Slugs…
Don't forget Shania!
Michael Buble?
Come visit anytime my friend
Three days grace also I think 🤔
C'mon don't leave out Steppenwolf
You sre our friend too Jack! A nd yes Canada is awesome.
Don’t forget about Alanis! Love love love her and her Jagged Little Pill 🙃
I lived in San Diego when that came out. It was being played in EVERY bar or club I walked into! Great album.
100%, one of my all time faves! I saw her in Chicago a couple years ago and she’s still amazing! Plays so many instruments and her excitement and love for what she does is amazing to see! 🩷
How could you???? Joni Mitchell Neil Young
And Leonard Cohen. That is the Trinity. So good.
Shame on me.
I missed it too Sue. I just said Neil Young. Leonard Cohen is one of my all time favorites. Ever. A giant. A poet. A shape changer. I think even greater than Dylan.
I concur.
Don't forget Loverboy
Add in Sloan. Thanks friend!
Aye
I sure miss The Hip. What a great band
I was expecting the worst so when it was called I was incredibly relieved. But make no mistake, maple Maga gained seats. The country is very much split. BUT we did choose the super smart guy over the damaged geek. So...yayyy us!
🤣
The Tragically Hip
…and Joni Mitchell, KD Lang, and Neil Young 😊
Leonard Cohen
I tip my dust giants cap to you.
Don't forget 90% of actors in America are also Canadians 🤣
Plus The Band, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell
Look up captain tractor and 3 dead trolls in a baggie too. Not just great bands but funny ones too. You can keep Shatner unless we need him for Shakespeare in the park or something. Jim Carey is from Ontario and that’s why he’s nuts.
Eww gross, nickleback.
Not to mention Joni MItchell, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young and Gordon Lightfoot.
And The Band!!
Yessss!! Robbie Robertson!
Love his solo stuff as well. RIP 🙏🏽
Propagandhi
Just hazarding a guess, they've probably helped System of a Down out too
How do you know so many CDN bands? Live on a border town?
No. I think it's just because I'm 59 years old...and have been listening to good music for a long time.
..and the Cowboy Junkies!!!
Triumph!!!!! 😎
You had me until you said Nickelback.
Yeah....I couldn't resist. I wanted to see what the replies to that choice would be. I have not been disappointed. 😝
🤣🤣
Nickelback is an incredible Canadian band!
If that’s your opinion, good for you.
Rush is a great call. Don’t forget Gordon Lightfoot.
Or Leonard Cohen or Gordon Lightfoot or Neil Young..so many.
You had me at Anne Murray
Shocking Blue and Gordon Whatshisname
Wasn’t triumph from Canada as well?
Yup
YES! Holy hell...I can't believe I left them out. (Sorry, Rick Emmett and crew!)
triumph was pretty cool.
I’m in willing to overlook that. It’s been a crazy 100 days and you’ve been dealing with a lot! 👍✌️🖖
And Triumph!
💯👊🇨🇦🍁
Glad you included the Tragically Hip! Let’s include Bachman Turner Overdrive, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Diana Krall, Leonard Cohen and a few others. 😂
Diana Krall & Joni Mitchell for sure. Say her play at the Black Cat basement in SF like 20 years ago. She was just playing for free.
I would think Nickelback would be an entirely justified reason to hate us.
🇨🇦Elbows Up!💪🇨🇦
🤗❤️🇨🇦
The Tragically Hip -such fun memories popping up.
Thanks Jack! 🇨🇦🍁
Dont forget justin beiber and shanua twain 🤣
You had me in your corner until you mentioned Nickelback
Thank you for not saying Drake.
And Leonard Cohen.
You guys can have Nickelback
It also produced me! A nobody, but an exceptional Canadian nobody. 😜
Lover boy, Doug and the Slugs, Bachman Turner Overdrive.
Love Our Lady Peace! But what about these guys... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xevc...
Rik Emmett 😍 Such a great song. 😃 A tribute album to Triumph, "Magic Power: All Star Tribute to Triumph," will be released on June 6, 2025. The album features a variety of rock musicians covering classic Triumph songs, including Dee Snider, Sebastian Bach, Slash, Jeff Keith, and Joey Belladonna.
Wow! Can't wait to check that out!
An absolute surprise! Thank YOU for mentioning them.
Just went down a rabbit hole to see if Mr. Emmett is still around. I found a video from last fall on his website singing Paul McCartney's My Love. His voice is still amazing, and he looks great for his age!
Dayum!! Wow. 2023. youtu.be/dUIqaf2uVvM?...
Sorry thought it was last year😕 He's still got it though.
That’s a fantastic song. I’ll check it out.
I was with you 100% until you listed Nickelback. 😃
California is ready to be the 11th Canadian providence!!
...Stompin' Tom
Saw him in Tillsonburg!!! Can’t go to Sudbury without making a reference … and Bud the Spud was my husband’s choice of lullaby songs when our daughter was a baby!!
My back still hurts when i hear that name..🤣 hometown😄
So, outdoor writers. What does this season look like?
All true, and singers/composers, Leonard Cohen, Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Sarah McLachlan, and more. Thanks to Canada for giving us some of their very best who've lighted our way. #Canada
Joni, Gordon lightfoot, etc🍁
THE BAND!!
Oh!! 👏👏👏💙💙🍁🍁🍁🤘
You had me at Rush!
Also, Matthew Good! 🇨🇦😎
The Band. With an American, Levon Helm.
Nickleback?! Ewwww We’re fucking embarrassed.
I was with you until Nickelback!
And Blue Rodeo. Oh…. And fuck Trump! Elbows up 🇨🇦!
Don’t forget The Haunted and their garage rock masterpiece “1-2-5.” youtu.be/KZXkzao9KvA
Joni Mitchell, Tegan and Sara, KD Lang, Shania Twain, Jann Arden, Sarah MacLachlan, Sarah Harmer, Feist, The Beaches! etc etc
Yes but now CANADIANS are taunting AMERICANS. Just ask them what they would have done if they lived across the border from HITLER, and wonder if they approve of Hitler! They het really mad, but they do not know how much danger they are in as the WORLD turns FASCIST.
Oh, we know, don’t worry..no taunting here. We celebrated our new PM, but we are still NOT out of the woods. If what is going on in 🇺🇸 can happen so “easily”, it means it can really happen almost anywhere around the world. I’m very worried and scared about what is happening in your country..
Also Snotty Nose Rez Kids, Halluci Nation, William Prince
Oh... And the Headstones! Awesome Canadian band!
It's good to have a friend like you.
Likewise.
I like your thinking. And I love Canada. The Guess Who were a really good group, glad you included them.
Nickelback! All sound same era lives in Canada. Barenaked Ladies rule 🤷🏼♂️
Don’t forget the comedy exports Martin Short Dan Aykroyd Norm Macdonald John Candy Jim Carrey Joe Flaherty Phil Hartman Tom Green Mort Sahl Mike Myers and on and on
Don’t forget Keanu Reeves ❤️
And Gordon Lightfoot. Yeah I feel Canadian right about now.
Including Nickelback...bold choice.
I know...and I'm laughing, as I knew I would catch hell for that..lol

🔥
All right I’m going to listen again but in my metal days. April Wine did not cut it.
Okay. Admittedly they could rock. Better than I recalled. I need a bit more grit to love a band.
Mark Carney is now the leader of the free world.
Canada also has more smart people than we do!!
Real question, is their a Murdoch backed Fox News type of reporting in Canada? Fox has left Americans misinformed. We are suffering due to its long running presence.
A lot of our media is owned by Post Media who's owned by Chatham There is a bunch of misinformation and it is starting to affect perception Alberta's Premier according to AI is on the list for being one of the worst spreaders of misinformation Rebel True North and now Juno are right leaning
I wish AI was never invented. There are going to be job losses because of AI. I don't understand why these TV shows are aloud to lie to people. These lies are destroying United States.
There are conservative channels in Canada. It seems like there must be a more education population, that doesn't believe everything they hear.
also barstool prophets www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnxX...
a couple more to add: Colin James www.youtube.com/watch?v=gngN...
Don't forget Neil Young!
As a BC girl transplanted from Ontario, I have to make sure 54-40 and Toronto get a mention!
Oh yes good choice! Love 54-40
OLP is #3 on my all-time favorite band list. Yeah, Canada is ok in my book.
👏 Bravo ‼️🇨🇦☮️
About Nickelback though….?
Romper room, Alex Trbek
Pineapple on pizza, poutine, smoked meat sammies, Mordecai Richler, Oscar Peterson, David Lewis, the Arrow
Mine too.🎶
Don't forget Chilliwack. They rock!
Don’t forget the great Canadian comedians, Eugene Levy, et al.
Me too! April Wine was my first concert....Heart warmed up for them! Crazy! ( no pun intended)
...and Blue Rodeo
Alanis Morisette and Sarah McLaughlin
Nickelback? May not want to advertise that one.
And Neil Young
I'm disappointed. How could you leave out Triumph in your lineup?
Neil young. Joni Mitchell
Well, maybe not Nickelback...
It had to be said.
Oh, knock it off. Nickelback is so much fun.
🤣
Danko Jones ! #dankojones
Our Lady Peace rock! Saw them years ago at Harbor Lights in Boston. Shortly after I was wearing the shirt and a kind old lady thought it was adorable that I had “kneel down and obey” on my shirt…😂
K.D. Lang, Celine Dion, and I must give a shout-out to Ian and Sylvia Tyson. Older generation here!
Diana Krall and Michael Bublé. Comedians Jim Carrey and Dan Aykroyd. The list goes on.
To say nothing of Diana Krall💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 Comedians Mike Myers and Jim Carrey.
I was in Sault Ste. Marie in March. We walked in for dinner. I am from ATL404 so my voice is a give away. When the waitress came, she was wound a bit tight. The first thing we said was,”We didn’t vote for him.” After that, everything was fine. They are all pissed at the U. S. Every Single 1️⃣
Helix.
Can’t forget Triumph
not bands but genius comedy: SCTV, Kids in the Hall, Corner Gas, Little Mosque on the Prairie, Slings and Arrows, etc
The Red Green show
