10 Top Canadian Songs

Canada is a big place- and you can find just about every kind of music here. But if you had to pick a national genre, it would probably be rock. We Canadians like to rock about as much as we enjoy watching hockey, lounging by lakes, and apologizing.

Maybe it’s because the Canadian Shield covers half the country. And when you factor in the Rockies, well, that’s a whole lot of rock across the land. A list by rockologist Stu Jeffries:
