Post up your favourite Canadian songs

Saw J.P Comier in an intimate barn loft concert a few years back now on the Island where we used to live.
Great venues where around 40 folks would be in the loft and we'd here the various Canadian artists play over the years. (This video is a different barn)
Seriously if an instrument has string, he can pick and play it.

Just another snippet of his talent.

Hmm. Hard to pick a favorite , then favorites.
Some got so much airplay they tired...

This one I didn't know was Canadian early on. Not that I can hear a song and tell anyways...L.o.l..
Didn't get too worn out so it's in the running for a favorite.

I didn't know they were Canadian, either. I can get into some Nickelback!

Now thank you for posting J.P up. Kind of forgot about his picking, and do I mean he can pick.
Not really a song-but setting up the Banjo.

J.P is amazing on any instrument he picks up, I saw one video where he is playing Yankee Doodle dandy & Dixie simultaneouly His ability on the fiddle on those Traditional tunes is steller

Toronto based Band, Enter the Haggis... I think the drummer looks like former Oiler , Hall of Famer Mark Messier

Local band-they're getting to be pretty well known. ( Did back-up for the Stones twice) We know the other brother quite well as he's a customer of ours.
So I'll put in a plug for them

There's one thing seeing an artist do their talent in a big venue, or a recorded version.
Then there's the upfront, in close proximity settings as house/barn/backyard venues.
Seems that the artist is just so relaxed, enjoying themselves like everyone there.
$20 in the bowel events-potluck-BYOB-Friends it don't get any better than that.

I have been listening to J.P. Cormier & Dave Gunning quite a bit lately. Please stick with the short intro, the song & video are powerful. If there are Vets out there on T Net, Thank you, Thank You for serving

You made me cry. A very powerful song! Veterans, their struggles with PTSD and suicide prevention has been a passion of mine and my husband's for several years now. Thank you for posting this!

Buffy Ste Marie-Up where we belong.

I think I like this version best. She sings it with passion.
