Pretty high up there, especially for the East Coasters. I think the Hip is tops, because they're really not known well outside of Canada, and that blows our collective minds. And Gord Downie, man, I still tear up thinking about his greatness.

I'm not a fan the way several of my friends are who are deep into them. I think it's useful to compare them to The Kinks. Not so much in the style of music, but in that the subjects of their songs could be very particular to the country's culture and history.

Two numerous singles from an unknown Irish guy (Stefan Murphy) who is accompanied by a band from Nashville called The Sleeveens.

Yes! OI'm sure health care is top notch and many are well healed but I meant well-heeled as in the nouveau riche. It's not just wealthy retirees vacationing, there's a whole lot of young moneyed buttholes moving up there from other parts of the state making things stupid expensive.
