Excuse the jokes, (including the one from Guest on my wife's computor!). I agree with the good and bad generalising about Canadian music. Infact, I play a lot of Canadadian music, (in responce to the origional post) I play Quebecoius tunes, a lot of Scotish stuff from Nova Scotia as well as the English song tradition from Nova Scotia, and even a few Innu songs I picked up fighting against the human rights abuses in Canada leveled at American Natives. (Yup, generally a kind and caring society, but a few rough edges - some that are quite rough) We have to remember that Canada, often looking south at the violent barbarians on their boarder, has a few mea culpas to atone for the actions of their army in Africa, torturing civilians, but I still try and get my wife to move there... it still has a lot more rational government than the US. Even in places like Quebec, where you expect a domence of Norman and Breton music, there is a thriving south American music tradition, a lot of Chileans moved there after the US screwed up their nation. So, Willie O excuse the bit of fun, you guys have some great music up there, Let's sing a round of Barreett's Priveteers and have a LaBats.
PS I really do like moose pie.
