As we get set to celebrate America this 4th of July weekend, let's first give thanks to the folks north of the border.

Today is Canada Day  a federal holiday celebrating the anniversary of the July 1, 1867, enactment of the Constitution Act of 1867.

Hey that's great, but what about the awesome rock bands from Canada?

O.K., so there's Nickelback...so kidding.

Here are my five favorite Canadian Classic Rock bands:

  • Triumph
  • BTO
  • The Guess Who
  • Neil Young
  • Rush

To go along with jamming out to Rush, if you truly want to celebrate Canada Day here are some ideas:

  •  Moose Hunting
  •  Hockey Watching
  •  Molson Ice Drinking
  •  Swedish Fish Eating (they are made in Canada)
  • Dream of Legit Public Health Care
