Oh, and The Tragically Hip, they issue you a copy of their Greatest Hits CD at the border.

Hope your heart is on the mend!

Nickelback (any song, really)
Every alanis morrissette song ever written, including and ESPECIALLY the first pop one.
any avril lavigne OR sum 41
anne murray’s Snowbirds

we must also be able to hum at least one cheerful leonard cohen ditty

There’s actually a good reason. There’s a law on the books that a certain (large) percentage of radio play is canadian. Thus, no matter WHAT preventions we take, we absorb it. It’s played in our restaurants and movie theatres, blasts out from poles mounted on streetcorners (seriously) and from the ipods of the other canadians who surround us. We can’t escape. We may as well decide to like it. (that being said, search utube for “ballad of gordon” – it’s a PSA and it’s pretty cute)
