Wide Mouth Mason- Always hated them, but they were pretty popular for awhile.

Dudes I gotta say I'm digging the Canadiana angle here hahaha
Pure was fun, I'm surprised you don't remember Anna (was a speed freak).
Sloan annoyed me until I caught them at a festival gig and they turned out to be a super highlight.
Grimskunk was based out of Quebec, pyschedelic stoner rock before it was called that, then they turned more nu-metal and had a minor hit with a tune called Silverhead.
SIANspheric is the best shoegaze band ever ignored by the masses.
As for your recent ones...
Matthew Good - could never stand. I remember liking Apparition and Everything is Automatic back in the day but that was it.
WMM - Same as Moist. They weren't a bad band but there was something missing for me.
Big Sugar - I liked their early stuff and still own Hemi-Vision. Johnson is still touring under the name Grady and apparently will pull out Joe Louis live.
Bran Van 3000 - Their debut, Glee, is one of the most underrated and under appreciated Beck styled mishmash of every musical style a producer could get their hands on and shape into a disc.
The Gandharvas - One of my personal favourites, they remind me of Jane's Addiction without sounding like a ripoff. The first album is kind of weak but the follow-up Kicking In The Water is a must if you enjoy the band. Their last disc Sold for a Smile is more reminiscent of the Pixies but still quite good.
and finally THE HIP - They're one of those bands that I really don't mind hearing on the radio but I can't bring myself to listening to a full album.
Bastard - can't comment because I honestly don't remember any of those. Then again I also stopped watching MuchMusic in late '98 when I moved away for school. LOVE that Killjoys video though
