Happy Canada Day. Remember to support all those struggling Canadian artists like Simple Plan, Avril Lavigne and Celine Dion… oh wait.

No, go listen to Propagandhi, the Weakerthans, the Planet Smashers, and go buy some stuff from the G7, Union and Underground Operations.

Adam: Not to mention our pals at Three Gut, Smallman and Mint. So add to your playlists stuff from The Constantines, New Pornographers and The Frenetics.

Chiming in from the west coast, Tim wanted to make sure we didn't forget labels Farway, Ethics, and Pop Culture along with Canuck bands Stutterfly, Drive By Punch, and Mico.

Scott: I live in Illinois. I don't really know much about Canada. But I do know the new Moneen CD is tearing up my car stereo, and the new Weakerthans album won't leave my CD player. So there ya go.
