Finger Eleven is coming to Burlington for our Sound of Music Festival in a couple of weeks. They went to M. M. Robinson in Burlington so it's thier hometown (same HS as I went to). I'm taking my boys to see them.

So, I was wondering, what famous people we Canadians think are a household name, are a household name in the US?

Finger Eleven?
The Group of Seven?
Robert Bateman? (they're re-naming a HS after him here in Burlington where he used to teach)

Any others (other than the obvious, i.e. Jim Carey (also from Burlington))?

Never heard of any of those people... The first famous Canadians that come to mind for me are Jim Carrey, Avril Lavigne, Keanu Reeves, Celine Dion, and Jaques Villeneuve.

Spork, how could you forget Gilles Villeneuve? Jacque's dad and the person who Canada's formula one circuit is named after?

Oh, and another vote (is it a vote - it is now!) for Colin Mockry!!
