Happy beer day

I mean... Canada Day.
I can't find a decent clip online for my favourite Canadian song of all time, "Claire", by the Rheostatics, so here's a smattering of videos from some of my other favourite Canadian songs. Grab a Moosehead and enjoy. Among other acceptable beers: Amsterdam, Creemore, maybe Steam Whistle. Molson Canadian is not an acceptable drink for Canada Day.

Rush - Subdivisions

Pursuit of Happiness - Hard to Laugh (put this on repeat)

Blue Peter - Don't Walk Past (hilarious retro MuchMusic rip.. and 'johnmcboston' doesn't get that Blue Peter is the name of the group, not the name of the guy.)

Gordon Lightfoot - Sundown and If You Could Read My Mind

Gino Vanelli - Wild Horses

Hayden - Bad As They Seem (Thornhill, what what!)

The Guess Who - These Eyes

Death From Above 1979 - Black History Month

Martha and the Muffins - Echo Beach

Odds - Someone Who's Cool

Tragically Hip - Gift Shop

Some other Canada type music links I recommend:

CBC Radio 3
CFNY Fan page
50 Tracks: The Canadian Version
CJXF's Top 100 Canadian Singles of All Time
Encyclopedia of Music in Canada

And for something different, here's the Kids in the Hall's 'Sex Girl Patrol', try to guess who sings the theme song.
