sadly, this type of tomfoolery is common in other western countries, and
unfortunately we're not that far away from the same kind of nonsense.

Doesn't Canada also require a certain percentage of music played on
the radio be Canadian?


Let's see...

Bryan Adams....Rush....the MacKenzie Brothers...

I'm out.

Off the top of my head (and not including those mentioned above *or* in
posts I've read so far - namely Nickleback and Alanis)

Gordon Lightfoot. Anne Murray. Loverboy. Celine Dion. The Guess Who.
Bachman-Turner Overdrive. Chilliwack. April Wine. Sweeney Todd. Aldo
Nova. Lighthouse. Steppenwolf. Skylark. Edward Bear. Glass Tiger.

Looking at a list and adding those I've heard of....

The Stampeders. Sheriff. The Kings. Five Man Electrical Band.
Mahogany Rush. The Poppy Family. Terry Jacks.
