The Contenders

Notable songs include Ghosts n' Stuff, I Remember, Raise Your Weapon, Strobe and Professional Griefers.

Adore this electronic genius. Listen to "I Remember", "Arguru" or "Strobe" and you won't be able to stop.
Also think Barenaked Ladies is one of Canada's greatest exports. "Falling For The First Time", "One Week" and "Brian Wilson" are masterpieces.

12 The Tragically Hip The Tragically Hip, often referred to simply as The Hip, are a Canadian rock band from Kingston, Ontario, consisting of lead singer Gordon Downie, guitarist Paul Langlois, guitarist Rob Baker, bassist Gord Sinclair, and drummer Johnny Fay.

One of the better things to come out of Canada.

13 Sutherlands

One of the greatest acting families.

14 Tim Hortons Tim Hortons Inc. is a Canadian-based multinational fast food restaurant known for its coffee and donuts.

17 Terry Fox Terrance Stanley "Terry" Fox was a Canadian athlete, humanitarian, and cancer research activist. In 1980, with one leg having been amputated, he embarked on an east to west cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research.

The fact that Justin Bieber is higher than Terry Fox kills me a little inside and makes me lose faith in humanity. Terry ran non-stop while battling cancer. All Justin did was make a YouTube video and get famous.

No explanation needed for this one

25 Loscil

With ambient music being so underrated, and Loscil being one of the best ambient artists, I would definitely say this is Canada's most underrated exports.
