I'm not sure there will be. Tragically Hip were a bit of a unique phenomenon. Their music fit in well with all the popular rock/classic rock FM stations at the time and made it easy for the stations to fulfill their CANCON requirements. They were all over Much Music while it was still relevant. There are so many disparate outlets for music these days, that I doubt we'll see an artist get such widespread Canadian exposure.
Gordon Lightfoot gets thrown around as a significant Canadiana artist as much as the Hip, and probably because they both had a lot of Canadian theme music and embraced being Canadian artists. They also both kept living in Canada.
