Monday was Columbus day, but it was also Canadian Thanksgiving Day. Here are some Canadians doing what Canadians are good at*:
Neil Young, The Band, and Joni Mitchell. From the Last Waltz.
*that's playing music, not getting high, smartass.
EDIT: the video is no longer available, due to "terms of use violation" which probably means some philistine reported it to youtube. I didn't upload that video, so it's not a big deal to me, it just ruined my tribute to Canada, that's all. FINE.
There are plenty of other Canadian fish in the sea.
Take Emily Haines, for example. She is the lead singer of Metric and also sings in the bands Broken Social Scene and Stars. She has a new solo album out and you can legally watch her new video on her myspace page (scroll down). If that's too dark for you, try Feist, also Canadian and also of Broken Social Scene.
