Modest Mouse are great, as anyone who has heard more than "Float On" will tell you. Then again, you named The White Stripes, The Mars Volta, Rilo Kiley, The Strokes and Tool for the US side, all subpar or slightly better than average bands.

Arctic Monkeys are only marginally better than Bright Eyes, whom I hate with a passion. Not as good as MM or Interpol, though.

As for Canada, i think Murder Junkie is very wrong, theres already some great bands coming out of Canada, primarly The Arcade Fire, New Pornographers and Godspeed You! Black Emperor...Those 3 more than make up for Nickelback.
One of those bands makes up for Nickelback, and a million other crappy bands out of Canada.
