Shhh! 
Aside to davidmich–you’re quite welcome, and I’m sure that the Canadian Dopers will look forward to your commentary and further questions as you read our history.
With Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and Stan Rogers to choose from, you prefer Anne Murray? Actually, my favorite Canadian singer is the essentially unknown Carol Welsman.
Yep, I was country when country wasn’t cool, I suppose…“Shadows In The Moonlight” is one of my all-time favorite songs!
In 1980, when I was 5, my mom bought a '77 Olds Cutlass Supreme from my cousin. It was the loaded 'Brougham" 2-door with every option available including the AM/FM 8-track stereo. Ronnie Milsap, Anne Murray, Olivia Newton-John and Linda Rondstadt rounded out our extensive 8-track collection and we listened to them over and over until she traded it for an '86 Cutlass Supreme in Nov 1985. Then we upgraded to cassette! 
… Neil Young, Robbie Robertson, Bryan Adams, Sarah McLachlan, Oscar Peterson, Blue Rodeo, The Tragically Hip, Michael Buble, Shania Twain, Rush, Daniel Lanois … the list goes on and on.
**STEWARDESS: **Would you like something to read, ma’am?
LITTLE OLD LADY: Do you have anything light?
STEWARDESS: Umm, how about this leaflet – Famous Jewish Sports Heroes.
If you don’t mind a book about a specific Canadian event, I can recommend this book on the Halifax explosion: Curse of the Narrows: The Halifax Disaster of 1917
