it's not really MrDob. Because of CanCon rules it means that indie bands have a much better chance of being played on the radio.
Because of that, it means that labels will sign more canadian indie bands.
Because of that the indie music scene thrives.
Keep in mind that Toronto is second only to NYC for the number of live music venues. Last I checked, and it's more now, was that you can see any of 450 - 500 live music acts on any given night in Toronto.
Which is why NXNE is in Toronto and SXSE is in Austin.
Montreal's music scene was absolute shite until a couple of years ago when the clubs started opening up and then the bands actually had somewhere to play.
and, I'll add in a few more artists:
Leonard Cohen
Brian Adams
Rush
Sam Roberts
Matthew Good Band
Stompin Tom Conners
