I came to the wrong place then.
Realistically, there aren't a lot of acceptable representatives of Canada. I'm not even sure of what Canada's identity is (outside of stereotypes perceived from outside it), let alone who from our pitiful export list should stand for it.
I suppose Arcade Fire could be said to represent the English and Quebecois communities equally, and I suppose their activism and relief efforts reflect well. They carry themselves in a pretty understated way for being such an important and influential act in the last decade of music. I'm just waiting for someone to throw something smarter into the ring.
I imagine I'd feel more strongly about this if I felt a stronger cultural presence.
