I agree that the major Canadian music scene has started growing stale.
I'm happy that they mentioned White Lung in that article, because White Lung (and Vapid) are really great.
There is some really good Canadian music coming out recently, but I think the next wave of great Canadian music will be a little less visible, as the DIY ethic becomes more popular.
Some examples:
The White Wires are just releasing a new record on Dirtnap Records in the next month, but they have 2 other full length records out, as well as a few splits. (You can eve get a free download of one of their newest songs here

Crusades just released an album this past September
Some of the guys from Crusades were in the Sedatives
The article mentioned White Lung
I mentioned Vapid (shares members with White Lung)
