    Why anywhere else in the world people refer to thick bacon as "Canadian Bacon"?

    I am Canadian and I have never had that type of bacon here!

    I've had this conversation NUMEROUS times with my American Hubby!

    I'm not Canadian but since I live in Buffalo, I'm over there all the time. Just saw The Tragically Hip in concert this past weekend, love Strange Brew, and I think I know more radio jingles from Canada than from the states. It was a rainy day in Pizzaville....lol yea Canada Day!

    Everything listed in this thread *and* Canadian music! Too many to name, but my top ten off the top of my head: Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene, Feist, Sloan, Blue Rodeo, Sarah Harmer, Sarah McLachlan, Neil Young, The Band and The Stills!

    Happy Canada Day, everyone!

    (...and Happy almost 4th of July to our neighbours, too!)

    YES! Canadian music! Tragically hip, Arcade Fire, Mother mother, Metric, Nelly Furtado, Alanis Morrisette.....

    free health care

    this is also one of the only countries where you can protest freely. i know there are exceptions, but very very few protesters end up attacked by police here or in jail FOR LIFE. canada is pretty sweet in that regard.
