Who are some of your favourite Canadian based punk groups?

If you are into skatepunk they I'd suggest Sector Seven. They are from Toronto and they kick ass.

Here's a band I literally got into just last week called Nomeansno. They truly transcend the typical punk sound by adding elements of math rock and jazz to their music, yet still retaining the production value and ferocity of punk music. I've only just started getting into them but their 1986 album Sex Mad, which is an eclectic and chaotic album to say the very least. I don't think it's the best the band has to offer, but they have quite the catalog so it'll take time to pick out their best work. Here's a few songs off the album though as examples:

NoMeansNo are rad - definitely check out Wrong, it's even better than Sex Mad.

there has to be at least one other Canadian Punk thread somewhere because i know i've posted more than a few NoMeansNo clips on this site in the past. 'Humans' is their best track to my ears.

Their was a thread called "The very best in canada music" or something a while back. It started off as a 3 Doors Down spammer but got derailed and people started posting their favourite Canadian bands. I posted about Nickelback just for the lulz.

^ that might be it then, a few of us tried to make it into something worthwhile rather than garbage. And 3 doors down is from Mississippi...
