...but should.
I admittedly don't know many Canadian bands but I should and it seemed like a good thread idea.
I'll start with The Weakerthans, also the solo work from John K Samson.

Corb Lund and The Hurtin’ Albertians

EDIT: Also, that Corb Lund tune is hilarious...
The Bourbon Tabernacle Choir. No longer together, alas, but a great live band and they’ve released their entire catalog on their site. If only all bands would do that when they shut down. Kate and Chris - the two singers - still have solo careers going.

In reply to Wally :
I forgot about Corb Lund, thanks for the reminder.
In reply to Keith Tanner :
I hadn't heard them before but that's some good music.
I love Corb!
Truck got stuck and German Motoraad are good Corb tunes too.
Old time rock, April Wine was a go to for me in high school.
Jim Cuddy, with or without Blue Rodeo.
Great big Sea for Newfie rock.
Ruth Moody with or without The Wailin Jennys for folky stuff. Check Ruth's cover of Dancing in the Dark.

I have tried to convince every aged group of guys reliving their youth in a garage band to learn that song.
DOA hardcore punk
Spirit of the West - Celtic inspired new wave
Sons of Freedom - kind of power pop
The Sojourners - southern baptist gospel
I know Rush.
What else is there? Nickleback? Celine? That guy who sang the song about the Edmund Fitzgerald?
My daughter turned me onto Peach Pit
For the older group,
Gordon Lightfoot sang the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. He is shown as starting in the business in 1958.
Lighthouse formed in 1968 in Toronto, Ontario. I saw them in concert when they came to my college

Great band. And every time you go to a concert, you will meet someone you haven’t seen in years. If you like their stuff, there’s Natalie McMaster for some top shelf Cape Breton fiddling
Since we’re looking back a few years, The Planet Smashers are a fun ska band from Montreal and The Shuffle Demons are...difficult to describe. One album is called Bop Rap and that kinda sums it up.
