Which musicians/groups from Canada are worth listening to?
Broken Social Scene, Chad VanGaalen and GY!BE are my favorites; highly recommended.
Preoccupations and Arcade Fire are up there, too. And while I prefer Preoccupations, Women is still a must.
Wolf Parade's first album is super solid, the rest is optional.
Basic choices, ehhhh but who's gonna' stop me?
Kon Kan
Grimes
neil young
Dilly Dally (saw them this week they were awesome)
Weaves (at the same show supporting they were ok)

The Darcys (their new album is shaping up to be absolute garbage, but their other releases thus far have been excellent. Super underrated).
The first Wendess demo is pretty sweet. Black metal but a LOT of cool clean guitar parts, and actually isn't produced to sound like ass.
Chad VanGaalen is GOAT. Listen to Diaper Island and Shrink Dust.
I've been listening to Townsend's Discography the last few Days and man...
His Music is Incredible.
I'm on Z2 now.
Skinny Puppy
Mac DeMarco
Devin Townsend
Unexpect
Dinosaur Holocaust
Ya boy
Voivod
Joni mitchell
Tragically Hip
David Brockie
Gordon Lightfoot
Protest the Hero
Shad
PUP
Rush
Silverstein
Matt Mays, Sloan, PUP, Preoccupations/Viet Cong, Arcade Fire, Neil Young, Mac DeMarco, Rush, Godspeed You Black Emperor, The Flatliners. just off the top of my head.
Vampire Rodents
Venetian Snares
