The Canadian Music industry has long been very good at giving America what it wants.

From Guy Lombardo, Paul Anka, The Guess Who, Rush, BTO, Alanis Morrisette, Shania, Celene, Sarah, Byan Adams, BNL, Buble and others mentioned here and even more not mentioned, there is usually a Canadian or three near the top of the US charts. As a Canadian I have never felt any specific obligation to prefer them, like them or even listen to them.

As an ambassador of Canada and Canadian music, Canada could do worse than a clean cut kid who can sing, write and dance. You don't have to like Beiber, you don't have to crap on him either.
