Is it blasphemey if I only like Gordon on that list, and that's only slightly?

I support Canadian music with a vengeance.. but man... I am not feeling the people on the list to perform! I'd much rather hear the likes of the three sarahs, metric, the unicorns, hawksley,wainwright,amanda forsythe, jorane, jill barber.. ahh.. a handdddddddddful of others!

what the hell is Three Days Grace doing there.....

Sarah played this last year? the year before??

All I can recall her doing was I Will Never Smile Again and speaking about it on CBC Play. (the cbc radio brodcast file i think died on my hold drive).

That song/songwriter (ruth?) was one of the ppl nominated for CBC contest that was happening this month to find Canada's best songwriter. George Strom.. and John Germushi were going over some of the list.
(I'm sure their is a cbc website link for it)

Cameron Bay.

PT, I think I agree with your list more than the actual list....

I know..I think that would be a BETTER representation of Canadian music

For the record, I am SO with you PT - I'd gladly drop $50 for a ticket to a gala with the artists on your list.

Was just doin' my civic duty sharing news about the show.
