We should be known for GY!BE and Venetian Snares. Unfortunately Post-Rock and Breakcore get quite a bit of hate so that's not gonna happen.

Trust me all your Canadian post-rock bands get a pretty good representation in the International market. GY!BE's 2000 release was listed on every "Best of 00" list I found on the Internet, and a lot of people know are at least familiar with the album or band. Canada's metal scene is terribly misrepresented in the International market besides a few acts, and the same goes for the punk scene.
Montreal might be more famously known for it's indie scene, but there is an equal, if not larger metal scene there that gets no representation unless you're a metalhead.
