I beseech you, my American friends: please do NOT judge us by Avril Lavigne, Alanis Morissette, Celine Dion, or (nauseatingly) Justin Bieber. This country has produced MANY hard-rockin' tunes which most of you, alas, have never even heard of! We are, up here, entirely too polite to aggressively promote ourselves.
Honorable Mention: The following ditties aren't hard rock, but they still kick ass!
Now, remember, the premise of this list was to name songs that you, as Americans, haven't heard. Thus, if you HAVE heard any of these tunes, please let me know. Also, by all means, tell me if I've actually MISSED some righteous Canuck songs!

Although you did forget that you also foisted Nickelback on us.

PS: It's unlikely that I'll be revisiting this thread since it takes so long to load with all the insipid videos you posted.
