Canadian Musicians

It recently occured to me that I like and listen to an awfully high percentage of Canadian music.
I am quite happy to make this confession because/although I am not Canadian.[Aussie]

Some of the Canadian artists I regularly listen to are-Bruce Cockburn,The Flying Bulgars,Holly Cole,Jane Siberry,Leonard Cohen,Mc Gariggle Sisters,Martha Wainwright,Rufus Wainwright,KD Lang,Neil Young,Blue Rodeo,Joni Mitchell,Ron Sexsmith,Harry Manx,Sarah McLachlan and Diana Krall.

I was hoping to expand this list and would be grateful for any other suggestions of good Canadian music in a similar vain[please no Rush suggestions].I'm sure that like many great Australian musos some great Canadians get little recognition outside of their own country.
If it is well recorded too that would be a real bonus.
A brief description of what type of music any suggestions typify would also help.

If you are into jazz, try David Braid (www.davidbraid.com) or Emilie-Claire Barlow (www.emilieclairebarlow.com).

If you like minimalist solo piano (e.g. Phillip Glass), try Bill Brennan (www.billbrennan.com)

Tafelmusik is terrific for Baroque stuff, but I find the sound quality of their stuff on Sony is a bit strained. They switched to Analekta a while back and the sound quality is much better. Maybe it's just me.
