One thing we can absolutely be proud of this Canada Day is how amazingly kick-butt Canadian music is (and has been, over the years). From ’70s folk icons Joni Mitchell and Neil Young, to ’90s rockers Sloan and The Tragically Hip, to our current crop of singer-songwriters, among them Joel Plaskett, Jason Collett, and Feist, there’s no shortage of patriotic tune-age for your July 1st party or long weekend road trip.
