Your list is small compared to who made it big here but was never recognized in the US.
It is similar to Austrailian bands that we know about vs what is down there, not that it is a problem but it is reality. I grew up with 90s alternative, I have cousins my age in the US, they grew up down there and they have no clue who I was talking about when I talked about my favourite bands.

I could of easily added 15 to 20 more Canadian Bands not recognized by the U.S. In fact many U.S bands are c*ap and don't really care what they think of Canadian music.

Pearl Jam cared http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/arts/edd...bute-1.3730236
But it can go the opposite way wi h music. Lots of Canadian bands on tour Stateside with festival season underway but have trouble filling small venues here. And in Canada it doesn't pay.

Blue rodeo kinda yes but not as much as you would think. Saturday at the amphitheater it was sold out but no one got rich out of it other then LiveNation
Rush yes from out of country touring and sales

Even a broken clock gets it right twice a day. Maybe the CBC doesn't get it right often, but once in a while they hit a home run.

So? It didn't say "here's an editorial cartoon of every Canadian icon/iconic moment". It said Four images you'll only get if you're Canadian.
