> [@Dr\_Paprika](#): > > Here is list of 101 Canadian albums recommended by the Globe. Happy Canada Day to you and youns. That’s an interesting list, I’ll have to back and relisten to some of them. Back in the 80s when I was in high school, I worked at a 1 hour photo lab in Yorkville. For those not from the Centre of the Universe that is Toronto, Yorkville is the fanciest part of downtown where the Rich and Famous hang out. Most of the staff were in their earlier twenties so we tended towards university radio station type of music and one of the discs in regular rotation was Mary Margaret O’Hara. We had it playing one day when her older sister, Catherine O’Hara, came in with some film to develop. One of my co-workers rushed to turn it down out of some misplaced Canadian embarrassment but Catherine encouraged them to turn it up. It was a great album. ---

Canada’s greatest band has at least nine songs that are specifically named after Canadian places (or geographic concepts) Cemetery Sideroad In Sarnia Goodnight Attawapiskat Speed River Skeleton Park Toronto #4 Bobcaygeon At The Hundredth Meridian Three Pistols Of course, the number that MENTION Canada, places in Canada, or Canadians is beyond counting. Once place the Tragically Hip never once actually name? Their (and my) hometown, Kingston, though that’s where Skeleton Park is. ---

At the little television station in Virginia where I work, we devoted one of our regular general-interest segments to celebrating Canada Day. One of our weather guys just got back from Canada (which I assume is the only reason we bothered doing this down here in Virginia), and he brought back some Canadian delicacies like ketchup chips and maple cream cookies for our panel to sample. I guess a nice plate of poutine simply wouldn’t have survived the trip. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-canada-day-up-canada-way/967257.md?page=1)
