Canadian Indie has some of the best artists period. So much goodness comes out of that country...

I was looking at some of the threads that had kind of fallen by the wayside... and I thought this was a good one to bring to the top. Specifically, I wanted to recommend the blog i(heart)music, which is a great place to find good Canadian indie that isn't talked about in any of the more mainstream (and American) blogs. As far as I know, their content is exclusively Canadian, so it's probably the first place I'd go for more under the radar Canadian music. Exclaim and Earshot are also worth looking at; the former is actually a free print magazine available in Canada, and the latter compiles the college radio charts across the country... which isn't necessarily Canadian, but definitely has a Canadian bias.
