Here's a few that any REAL Canadians would mention:
-Spirit of the West - You may recall the "Faithlift" album with the great track And if Venice is Sinking
-Stephen Fearing, folk/rock, who keeps getting better and better. Some samples at: www.stephenfearing.com
-Blue Rodeo who can have a certain similarity to Cowboy Junkies (minus the sexy female) at times but can also really rock. Samples at: www.bluerodeo.com
-Tragically Hip (who was touched upon above).
-"54-40" from Vancouver and have moments of rock brilliance
-Last but definitely definitely definitely not least - the awesome Rheostatics. Check out this live video for proof of their awesomeness:
