In terms of global recognition from both mainstream and alternative outlets I'd say Rush is probably our ambassador, but I think a few other groups have infiltrated their ways into importance within specific genres. I definitely think the indie scene wouldn't be where it is today without Arcade Fire, and then there's VoiVod for metal. D.O.A was instrumental for hardcore punk and then there's also Neil Young. Hell, Corb Lund is really starting to catch onto the country music circuit down here.
More make it through the veil then you think, I just wish more people would peer through.
