And my personal “fave”
Celine Dion - EEEEK!
Until her debut, I thought the US and Canada were allies, you folks have a lot of explaining to do up there!

Ok he was born in the States:

He later Worked with Second City in Toronto so while an American by Birth I’ll classify him a Canadian by upbringing.
(the giveaway is during his stint on the British version of WLIIAW when he was able to describe Saskatchewan the way only a Canadian would)

Michael J. Fox is still a Canadian to me.

screech (who has a penchant for Canadian guys)

Someone already mentioned Martin Short, but no one has mentioned Alan Thicke, another great Canadian of whom Martin Short does the best impression ever. Really. You’ll totally lose it.

Bryan Adams

Hawksley Workman

Dan Akroyd

I read an interview with Ryan Stiles recently in which he said he considered himself half-and-half American and Canadian.

I love my Whose Line boys.
