The great Canadian 90s

Someone asked me yesterday when I came to Canada ...

I remember when I first came to Canada, I was lucky enough to listen to and watch some great Canadian bands on MuchMusic.  That was the time when Canadian alternative rock was at its height.  I miss my favourites from that period and the simple life back then.
