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.

I too listen to A LOT of Canadian artists (mostly rock)

*Rock w/ some blues influence...Kim Mithcell, Colin James, Tragically Hip, Sass Jordan
*Rock w/ a funky touch of folk...David Wilcox (if you research this, be sure you are on the Canadian David Wilcox, as there is an American musican with the same name.

If you check these out and like'm, I'll send a bigger list.

Enjoy!
