If You’re American, You’ll Have NO CLUE Who These 17 Canadian Musicians Are

Ahhh, good old CanCon (aka Canadian content — our government’s way of promoting local media). Back when MuchMusic (Canada’s version of MTV) ruled our TV screens and Canadian radio was on full blast ALL THE TIME.

I rounded up some of Canada’s biggest musical icons (plus a few deep cuts) to see who really knows their Canadian music. Whether you jam out to these artists 24/7, tune into the Junos every year, or still think Nickelback deserve justice — this is your time to shine.

You did it! Whether you guessed your entire way through, or passed with flying colours, you’ve just taken a crash course in Canadian pop culture.

Now go stream some Justin Bieber or Marianas Trench, you’ve earned it.
