As a nation, we Canadians have never shied from embracing the ugliest that pop music has to offer. We love us some Celine, some Avril, some Shania – and so (inexplicably) do people outside of these Great Northern parts. But what about the crappy, homegrown pop-stars who won’t be spending this Canada Day holiday getting B-12 injections with Paris Hilton, poolside in Malibu? The ‘90s one- (or two-) hit wonders who are our real-life Robin Sparkles-es? In celebration of Canada Day, let’s be sure to embrace all the dark corners of our Canadian-ness and raise a pint and a plate of poutine to those souls who braved frosted tips, vinyl pants and a few mid-‘90s editions of the MMVAs in the pursuit of mid-level fame.
