Dashboard Digital Agency Top 5

Oh Canada, it’s our national anthem. The lyrics fill our hearts with pride about this great land filled with great people. We experienced so much of this patriotism hearing our anthem played over and over again as Canadian after Canadian made it to the podium at the 2010 Winter Olympics. It’s a great song, but it got me to thinking about other songs that are quintessentially Canadian. So I polled the entire office and asked “What’s your favourite Canadian Anthem?”. Now some of these aren’t necessarily anthems but they are definitely Canadian. And all of them should be added to your Canada Day patriotic playlist this weekend. So go ahead load em up and enjoy these fine Canuck classics while you’re sitting around a fire, or on the dock  sipping our brown bottled national beverage. Enjoy, Eh!


1. The Log Driver’s Waltz


2. Gordon Lightfoot - Canadian Railroad Trilogy


3. Bob and Doug McKenzie - Great White North


4. Dayglo Abortions - Proud to be Canadian


5. The Tragically Hip - Wheat Kings


So Really this land is way too big for just 5 so here are 5 more!


6. The Weakerthans - Tournament of Hearts


7. Elliott BROOD - Oh, Alberta


8. A Case of You - K.D. Lang


9. Kim Mitchell - Go For a Soda


10. Classified - Oh Canada


So Canucks, have a patriotic fist pumper of your own that didn’t make our list? Or perhaps you completely disagree with one of picks?  Let us know in the comments Eh! Either way, Oh Canada!

    I find the lack of Rush disturbing.

    I always think of the hockey song by Stompin' Tom as our Canadian song. Sure it's all about hockey but doesn't that say it all.
