My fave Canadians would be Devin Townsend and Protest The Hero.

Which is your band? Just started to listen to your myspace page right now. I love the pianoriff  In The Bigots Veil. Your music sometimes reminds me of Il Balletto Di Bronzo (which is a good thing). 

I seriously think you need to do something about your image (sorry for being superficial). Dress up in black suits, like monks or whatever. Those baggy shorts and comfortable t-shirts etc, are very practical and a natural choice for a sunny afternoon, but works strongly against your attemt on creating drama, aggression and mystery in your music.  

Anyway I like the whole Quebec scene of the 70's with Maneige, Toubabou, Dionne-Bregent, Conventum, L'Infonie, Sloche etc... That city alone made Canada one of the most interesting (and underrated) nations for progressive music back then.

In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

check out Leitmotiv from Quebec - excellent prog in the vein of Maneige, Genesis. Best of all, their album Entangles is available for direct download, and you can donate what you feel. (though they suggest a certain price)
